[Use of miocamycin in the acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive bronchopneumopathy. Case material contribution].

Abstract

18 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis were treated with 900 mg myomycin a day. The clinical parameters examined were the quantity and organoleptic characteristics of the expectoration, coughing, and body temperature. These parameters were studied immediately before and 7.14 and 21 days after the start of treatment. Myomycin was found to be satisfactorily effective with minimal toxicity and well tolerated.
