[Clinical studies of cefditoren pivoxil in pediatric field].

Abstract

We have carried out clinical studies on cefditoren pivoxil (CDTR-PI, ME1207) in granules. The results are summarized as follows. Treatment with CDTR-PI was made for 14 cases of pediatric bacterial infections: 4 cases of tonsillitis, 2 cases of pneumonia, 3 cases of scarlet fever, 3 cases of impetigo, 1 case of subcutaneous abscess and 1 case of urinary tract infection. Results obtained were excellent in 12 cases, good in 1 case and poor in 1 case. No significant side effects due to the drug were observed.
