Abstract |
Clinical effects of cefoselis (CFSL) on various infections and prevention of postoperative infections in the field of obstetrics and gynecology were investigated with a total of 100 patients of 8 facilities in Yamagata and the following results were obtained: 1. For the patients (n = 70) who received the treatment with CFSL at 2 g/day for 5 days to prevent postoperative infections, the treatment was effective for such infections in 68 of 69 (98.6%) except one to whom the treatment was discontinued during the course. 2. For the patients with infections ( n = 30) who were treated with CFSL at 2-4 g/day for 5-7 days, the treatment was markedly effective in 8/30 (26.7%), effective in 21/30 (70%) and not effective in 1/30 (3.3%). The overall rate of efficacy was 29/30 (96.7%). Based on the clinical effects for each isolate, the bacteriological efficacy was evaluated as 29/29 and the rate of bacterial eradication for each isolate was 23/29 (79.3%). 3. Laboratory test revealed liver functional abnormalities in one patient and eruption, a subjective/objective symptom caused by CFSL was noted in two patients. These results suggest that CFSL is effective for various infections in obstetric and gynecologic field and also the prevention of postoperative infections.
