Abstract:
Ceftizoxime was administered to 30 cases with urinary tract infection for 7 days in the most cases at a daily dose of 1-2 gm intravenously or intramuscularly. The clinical efficacy of Ceftizoxime was as follows: Excellent results were obtained in 13 cases, good result in 14 cases and poor result in 3 cases, the overall effectiveness rate was 90% and no adverse reaction was noted in all cases. bacteriologically, 13 strains were isolated in 26 cases and 4 cases were bacteriologically unknown, and 2 strains in 3 cases, which were a case of proteus morganii and two cases of Pseudomonas fluoresces, were failed in treatment. Judging from the response to Ceftizoxime as shown in al Tables, Ceftizoxime is considered to be a very useful antibiotic in the treatment of urinary tract infection.
