Summary

Cefadroxil, a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, was administered to 109 patients with a wide range of infectious diseases covering abscesses, wound infections, furunculosis, ear-nose-throat infections, lower respiratory tract infections, gastro-enterological infections and miscellaneous infections. Excellent clinical response was obtained in 102 cases (93.6%) whereas eradication of the causative pathogens reached 80.7% (88 cases). Side-effects were noted in 11 cases (10%), included rash, abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhoea, and can be partly explained by the fact that approximately half of the patients in this study were treated for gastro-enterological diseases.

Zusammenfassung

Cefadroxil, ein neues, halbsynthetisches Cephalosporin, wurde 109 Patienten mit einer breitgefächerten Reihe von Infektionskrankheiten einschließlich Abszessen, Wundinfektionen, Furunkeln, Hals-Nasen-Ohren-Infektionen, Infektionen der unteren Atemwege, gastroenterologischen Infektionen und anderen weiteren Infektionen verabreicht. Ein ausgezeichnetes klinisches Ansprechen wurde bei 102 Fällen (93,6%) erzielt, die Elimination des pathogenen Erregers gelang bei 80,7% (88 Fällen). Nebenwirkungen wurden bei 11 Fällen (10%) beobachtet, eingeschlossen Exanthem, Bauchschmerzen, Übelkeit und Erbrechen; sie können teilweise dadurch erklärt werden, daß annähernd die Hälfte der Patienten wegen gastroenterologischer Erkrankungen behandelt wurde.
