CS-1170 was tried in children with various infections, and the following results were obtained. Some studies on the drug's pharmacokinetics were also made, and the results were as shown below: 1. The time course of serum concentration following one-shot intravenous injections of 30 mg/kg in 8 patients aged between 3 and 13 was studied. The results were: 53.4 microgram/ml, 23.4 microgram/ml, 6.6 microgram/ml, 1.8 microgram/ml and 0.5 microgram/ml at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours after the drug administration, respectively. Urinary recovery rate was 36% to 69.8% by 2 hours after, 10.9% to 70% by 2 to 4 hours after, 0.6% to 5.4% by 4 to 6 hours after the administration, and by 8 hours after the injection 91.3% of the drug was excreted in the urine. 2. Of 13 cases including 8 cases of bronchopneumonia, 2 cases of urinary tract infections, a case each of suppuration in the neck, lymphadenitis and pyothorax, CS-1170 was found to be effective in 10 cases (83.3%), while effectiveness of the drug was undeterminable in one case. 3. No remarkable side effect including allergic symptom such as eruption was observed, though transient elevation of GOT and GPT was noted in one case.

An intravenous preparation of doxycycline (DOTC, Vibramycin 'Pfizer'), a long-lasting tetracycline, was administered mainly by drip infusion for a series of study in the pediatrics field, and the results were as follows: 1) DOTC (100 mg) was dissolved in a 100 ml of glucose solution and 2--3 mg/kg was administered intravenously. When the total infusion time was adjusted between one to two hours, the peak serum level of DOTC was seen at the end of infusion in each case. The serum level in a two-hour infusion time, however, the serum level was delectable for a long period of time: the serum level after 10 hours was 0.82--1.23 micrograms/ml. Above results suggest that DOTC intravenous should be given in a two-hour infusion twice a day for applicable infections in the pediatrics field. 2) Urine excretion of DOTC was about a half (50%) of the administered dosage. 3) DOTC was given mostly at about 3--5 mg/kg per day (twice a day) infusion to 25 children with five infections, viz. acute angina lacunaris, acute bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, Mycoplasma pneumonia and acute urinary tract infections. A clinical improvement seemed attributable to DOTC was clearly observed in 23 out of 25 patients (92%). 4). DOTC infusion was also effective for Mycoplasma meningoencephalitis, severe Mycoplasma pneumonia associated with pleuritis, bronchitis and bronchopneumonia with a lot of Staphylococcus aureus identified in the sputum medium, acute urinary tract infections caused by E. coli. 5) Before and ten days after DOTC infusion, laboratory tests for liver and renal functions and blood were performed. No noticeable abnormalities were found except one case with transient GOT and GPT elevations. Above summary was presented at the 26th annual meeting of Japan Society of Chemotherapy in June 1978.

Laboratory and clinical studies were performed on a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, cefamandole (CMD), and following results were obtained. (1) Serum concentrations and urinary recovery rates of CMD were determined after an intravenous administration of CMD 30 mg/kg in 13 children with normal renal function. In 5 of 13 children, mean serum levels after a one shot intravenous injection were 112.5 micrograms/ml at 15 minutes, 52.2 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes, 23.3 micrograms/ml at 1 hour, 4.9 micrograms/ml at 2 hours and trace at 4 hours. In other 5 children, mean serum levels after drip infusion for 1 hour were 78 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes, 59 micrograms/ml at 1 hour, 9.8 micrograms/ml at 2 hours and trace at 4 hours, after the onset of drip infusion. In the remaining 3 children who received CMD by drip infusion for 2 hours, mean serum levels were 24.3 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes, 35.3 micrograms/ml at 1 hour, 30.2 micrograms/ml at 2 hours, 5.3 micrograms/ml at 3 hours and 1.5 micrograms/ml at 4 hours after the onset of drip infusion. Urinary recovery rates in 5 children were 154.7%, 98.3%, 93.2%, 111.8% and 66.9%, respectively, during 8 hours. (2) CMD was administered to 40 patients with various infections (acute U.T.I. 8, acute angina lacunaris; 2, acute bronchitis; 5, cervical purulent lymphadenitis; 2, post-measles bronchopneumonia; 3, acute bronchopneumonia; 18, pyothorax; 2, S.S.S. syndrome; 1) by one-shot intravenous injection at a dose of 40-120 mg/kg per day. The clinical efficacy rate was 92.5% and bacteriological efficacy rate was 79.2%. (3) As the side effect of CMD, eosinophilia was observed in 1 case, rash and elevation of GOT and GPT in 1 case, and proteinuria in 1 case.

A series of studies on cefuroxime (CXM) were carried out and the following results were obtained. 1) Most of MICs to recent clinical isolates of Group A hemolytic Streptococcus were less than 0.0125 micrograms/ml. 2) A single intravenous bolus dose of 36.5 mg/kg of CXM was given to two children, and the peak blood levels of 30 and 40 micrograms/ml were obtained at 30 minutres after injection; mean half-life in blood was 1.02 hours. The doses of 25 approximately 50 mg/kg were given over 1 hour by intravenous instillation to six children. The peak blood level appeared at the end of instillation, and half-life in blood was distributed between 0.56 and 0.81 hour. With both of these administrations, measurable blood levels were maintained up to 6 hours, and urinary excretion rate in active form up to 6 hours was distributed between 40.5 and 96%. 3) Serious upper respiratory tract inflammations, low respiratory tract inflammations (acute bronchitis and bronchopneumonia), staphylococcal exanthema and acute urinary tract infections mostly responded well to CXM intravenous administration (one shot injection, or instillation at dose of 50 approximately mg/kg/day in 2 approximately 3 daily divided doses. 4) Staphylococcal pyothorax was completely cured by 17 day-long CXM intravenous instillation at dose of about 150 mg/kg/day. 5) No difference in CXM therapy result was seen between the two administration forms used, i.e., one shot injection and instillation. 6) Clinical efficacy rate in 48 patients was 100% (excluding 1 unassessable case). As for side effect, transitory elevation of GPT and Al-P were seen in only 1 case each. The summary of this paper was reported on June 9, 1979 at 27th General Meeting of Japan Society of Chemotherapy (Fukuoka).

1. Cefuroxime (CXM) was studied for absorption and excretion in 4 pediatric patients given one shot intravenous injection of 20 approximately 25 mg/kg. The following serum levels were determined: 24.5 approximately 38.0 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes (mean 33.3 +/- 6.1 micrograms/ml), 10.0 approximately 17.0 micrograms/ml at 1 hours (mean 13.9 +/- 3.3 micrograms/ml), 3.4 approximately 7.6 micrograms/ml at 2 hours (mean 5.2 +/- 1.9 micrograms/ml, 0.7 approximately 2.1 micrograms/ml at 4 hours (mean 1.3 +/- 0.6 micrograms/ml, 0.1 approximately 0.3 microgram/ml at 6 hours (mean 0.2 +/- 0.1 microgram microgram/ml). Half-life (T 1/2) was 0.65 approximately 0.88 hour (mean 0.75 +/- 0.10 hour). Urinary levels were 1,280 approximately 7,100 micrograms/ml at 0 approximately 2 hours, 96 approximately 3,400 micrograms/ml at 2 approximately 4 hours, 68 approximately 250 micrograms/ml at 4 approximately 6 hours. Urinary recovery rate at 0 approximately 6 hours was 54.1 approximately 74.4% (mean 61.8 +/- 9.4%). 2. From the study on spinal fluid concentration in pediatric patients with Haemophilus influenzae-induced meningitis, the dose of CXM 52.2 mg/kg was given to 1 pediatric case with this disease by one shot intravenous injection. Spinal fluid levels were presumed as 9.0 micrograms/ml at 30 minutes, 6.8 micrograms/ml at 1 hour, 3.8 micrograms/ml at 2 hours and 1.2 micrograms/ml at 4 hours. 3. CXM was studied in 19 pediatric patients with bacterial infection for clinical efficacy, bacteriological effect and side effect. Clinical result was found good in 1 with purulent meningitis; excellent in 9 out of 15 with acute lobar pneumonia or acute bronchopneumonia, and good in remaining 6 cases; good in 2 with acute bronchitis; excellent in 1 with acute pyelonephritis. This represents efficacy ("excellent" plus "good") rate of 100%. Of 5 strains of H. influenzae presumed as causative organisms, 4 were disappeared and 1 was reduced. Two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae and 1 strain of Escherichia coli were disappeared. No side effect was noted in terms of clinical symptom. Laboratory examination showed elevation of GOT and GPT in 1 case, but these elevated values returned to normal after the end of the CXM treatment.

We studied clinical effects of meropenem (MEPM, SM-7338), a newly developed parenteral carbapenem beta-lactam drug, and following results were obtained. The patients were administered with 16-20 mg/kg of MEPM every 8 hours using 1 hour drip infusion. 1. Clinical effects of MEPM were studied in 10 children with various infectious diseases: 1 with acute bronchitis, and 2 each with acute tonsillitis, acute bronchopneumonia, acute pneumonia, acute urinary infection, and 1 with pertussis pneumonia. The case of pertussis pneumonia later developed bronchiolitis obliterans, hence a steroid and gamma-globulin were used. This case was excluded from the clinical evaluation. The efficacy rate was 100% (9/9), and the bacteriological eradication rate was 100% (6/6). 2. No side effects were noted. Clinical laboratory test values were investigated in 10 patients. There was a case of abnormal laboratory test findings with mild elevations of liver functions such as GOT, GPT, and gamma-GTP. These abnormalities disappeared in 1 week after the end of therapy.

Bacteriological and clinical studies on cefodizime (CDZM, THR-221), a new cephem developed by Hoechst AG and Roussel Uclaf, were carried out and the results are summarized below: 1. Against Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae, antibacterial activities of CDZM were similar to those of cefotaxime (CTX), cefazolin, cefotiam and piperacillin. Against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia sp., antibacterial activities of CDZM were similar to that of CTX, and superior to those of other tested antibiotics. Especially against Haemophilus influenzae and Branhamella catarrhalis, it showed an excellent antibacterial activity. 2. Although the clinical efficacy was poor in 1 patient with sepsis caused by Salmonella marcescens and in another with cervical lymphadenitis, in 5 patients with upper respiratory tract infection, 4 patients with bronchitis, 6 patients with bronchopneumonia, 18 patients with pneumonia, 5 patients with urinary tract infection and 1 patient with enteritis, the clinical efficacy was excellent or good and the efficacy rate was 95.1% (39/41) including excellent efficacies in 25 cases. 3. Bacteriologically, all identified causative bacteria were eradicated except for 1 case of Salmonella sp., thus the eradication rate was 97.4% (38/39). Especially S. pneumoniae in 10 cases, H. influenzae in 12 cases and B. catarrhalis in 3 cases were eradicated totally. 4. Adverse reactions were studied in 46 cases, and digestive symptoms were observed in 9 cases (diarrhea 5 cases, loose stools 4 cases). Eruption and vascular pain were observed in 1 case each. As digestive symptoms in 9 cases were mild, the treatment were not suspended. In laboratory test values, elevation of GOT, elevation of GPT, elevation of bilirubin, and eosinophilia were observed in 1 case each. Influences on blood coagulation parameters were studied. No change was observed between the beginning and the end of the treatment. From above results, we have concluded that CDZM is a useful and safe antibiotic in pediatrics, administered at a daily dose of 20 mg/kg divided into 3 or 4 doses and administered intravenously.

Cefpirome (CPR, HR 810) was clinically evaluated for its efficacy and safety in 11 patients with ages from 4 months to 11 years with bacterial infection. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. CPR was administered to 6 patients with bronchopneumonia, a patient with pneumonia, a patient with tonsillitis, 2 patients with acute pharyngitis and a patient with suppurative parotitis at daily dosage levels ranging 55.5-91.7 mg/kg, divided into 3 using intravenous bolus injection or 30 minutes drip infusion. Clinical responses of the 11 patients were as follows: excellent; 8 patients, good; 2 patients, poor; 1 patient, hence the efficacy rate was 90.9%. 2. Neither clinical adverse reaction nor abnormal laboratory test value was observed except slight elevation of GOT and GPT in a patient and leukopenia in another. 3. MICs of CPR against 18 beta-lactamase producing strains isolated from patients were as follows. MIC against a strain of Staphylococcus aureus was 1.56 micrograms/ml, MICs against 3 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were less than 0.025 microgram/ml, those against 3 out of 5 strains of Enterobacter cloacae were less than 0.025 microgram/ml and those against the remaining 2 strains were 0.05 and 0.20 micrograms/ml. MICs against 2 out of 3 strains Acinetobacter lwoffi were 1.56 micrograms/ml, and that of the remaining 1 strain was 0.39 microgram/ml. MICs against 2 strains of Pseudomonas cepacia were 1.56 micrograms/ml. MICs against a strain of Pseudomonas putida and a strain of Citrobacter diversus were 0.78 and less than 0.025 microgram/ml, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
