Abstract
Among the newer cephalosporins, cefodizime, an α-methoxy-imino-2-thiazolyl derivative, has been reported to display direct and indirect effect on some components of the host defense system against infection [3–7]. The aim of our research was to study the in vitro and ex vivo direct effect of cefodizime on human mononuclear and polymorphonuclear phagocytes in order to better understand the mechanism of its immunomodulating properties.
