[Evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of aztreonam in the treatment of infection caused by sensitive microorganisms].

Abstract

We report a trial in 10 patients who were given Aztreonam. Six of the patients had an infection of the respiratory system while the other four had some problems with the urinary system. All the patients presented serious infections with gram negative germs. The evaluation of the results of the trial has been carried out using laboratory and clinical data before and after the treatment. The bacterial eradication and the clinical disappearance of symptomatology has been accomplished in all cases. Therefore we can affirm that the therapeutical use of "Aztreonam" has shown its effectiveness. Its tolerance has been excellent with no side effects.
