Summary

Thirty-two hospitalized patients with acute lower respiratory tract infections were treated in a longitudinal study with oral cefadroxil, a new semisynthetic cephalosporin with a broad anti-bacterial spectrum. In 30 of these 32 patients (93.6%) the causative organisms were eradicated and clinical cure was achieved in 31 patients (97%) with no significant demonstrable side-effects.
