[Cefpiramide (Tamicin) in the treatment of purulent complications of abdominal surgery].

Abstract

Fifty patients with purulent infection of the abdominal cavity were treated with cefpiramide (Lek, Slovania). The analysis of the results showed that the clinical effect was favourable in 92 percent of the patients. The bacteriological efficacy amounted to 65.2 percent. The index of the isolates susceptibility was high (72 percent at the average). The concentration of cefpiramide in the bile from the bile common duct was low (23 micrograms/ml) as a result of its partial or complete obstruction. The adverse reaction (diarrhea) was stated in 1 patient.
