Among 200,000 infants screened for alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-AT) deficiency, 125 Pi Z, 48 Pi Z, 1Pi S-, and 2 Pi Z- children were followed up prospectively. Eleven percent of the Pi Z infants had neonatal cholestasis, and at 2 years of age three of them had cirrhosis. About 50% of the asymptomatic Pi Z and Pi Z- subjects occasionally had serum alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) levels above normal, and in 15% of them the levels were probably permanently increased during the first two years of life. Two previously healthy Pi Z children had transient symptoms of liver disease at age 2 years in connection with severe infections. The Pi SZ children had no significant clinical liver disease and only two had abnormal serum ALAT levels. Among Pi Z children up to 2 years of age the following diseases were also encountered: eight had recurrent bronchitis with wheezing, two had persistant cough (both had cirrhosis), one had severe pneumonia, one was mentally retarded, three had urinary tract infections, six had pronounced eczema, one had allergic shock, and three had congenital malformations. Among the Pi SZ children one had recurrent bronchitis, one had eczema, and one had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Three children, two Pi Z and one Pi SZ, have died. The Pi Z- and Pi S- subjects were healthy. In conclusion a variety of significant symptoms were observed in about 30% of the Pi Z children compared with 6% of the Pi SZ children during the first two years of life.

The authors have carried out the pharmacokinetics and clinical studies of CS-1170. The results were as follows; CS-1170 was given by drip infusion for 1 hour dose of 20 mg per kg body weight to 3 children. The maximum blood level was reached at one hour after drip infusion. This blood levels were 38 micrograms/ml, 68 micrograms/ml and 86 micrograms/ml, respectively, (mean 64 micrograms/ml), and level at 2 hours, 11.5 micrograms/ml, 9.4 micrograms/ml, 16 micrograms/ml respectively, (mean 12.3 micrograms/ml), the blood level at 6 hours was not determined. The urinary excretion rates were 94.8 approximately 96.8% up to 6 hours after drip infusion dose of 20 mg per kg body weight. CS-1170 was effective in 7 of 8 cases with pediatric bacterial infections. An ineffective case was a pneumonia due to Serratia marcescens. No side effect was observed except for 2 cases with diarrhea and one case with elevation of GOT and GPT.

S-6437 (Sustained release cephalexin granule for pediatric use) was studied with the following results: 1) Following the single oral administration of 25 mg/kg of S-6437 in 6 children 4 approximately 6 years old, the following blood levels (average) of cephalexin were obtained: 3.1 microgram/ml in one hour after the administration, 8.6 microgram/ml in 2 hours, 8.7 in 4 hours, 7.2 in 6 hours, 4.0 in 8 hours and 1.2 in 12 hours. Effective blood levels of cephalexin by S-6437 were maintained for longer period of time than those by regular cephalexine dry syrup. In 4 of 6 children receiving S-6437, cephalexin was scarcely detected in their blood in 12 hours after the administration. From this, it is not considered that S-6437 is accumulated in body. 2) S-6437 was administered to 38 patients including: 7 with pneumonia, 7 with acute bronchitis, 1 with suppurative lymphadenitis, 4 with acute pharyngitis, 15 with acute tonsillitis and 4 with acute urinary tract infections. Out of the 35 cases, 31 (88.6%) responded to S-6437, and 3 cases could not be evaluated. 3) Transient diarrhea in 2 patients, rash in 1 and elevation of serum GOT, GPT and LDH in 1 were observed. However, these side effects were improved by discontinuation of S-6437.

Broadcillin 'Banyu', which contains an equal amount of ampicillin and oxacillin was given intravenously to children with acute bacterial infections and the following results were obtained. 1. Patients were 55 children with the following bacterial infections; respiratory tract infections (8 cases), pneumonia (34), sepsis (1), meningitis (1), cutaneous and subcutaneous suppurative inflammation (5), osteomyelitis (1), urinary tract infection (2), enteritis (1), and chemoprophylaxis (2). They ranged in age from newborns to 8 year old, but most of them were infants. In the majority of the patients, broadcillin 'Banyu' was administered 50 approximately 150 mg/day in three to four equally divided doses by one shot-injection or by a continuous drip infusion for a period of 2 approximately 10 days. The overall efficacy rate was 88.7% in 53 cases after two cases of chemoprophylaxis were excluded, i.e., excellent in 28, good in 19 and failure in 6: excellent in 4 and good in 4 in 8 cases of respiratory tract infections; excellent in 20, good in 11 and failure in 3 in 34 cases of pneumonia (an efficacy rate 91.2%); failure in sepsis and meningitis: excellent in 2 and good in 3 in 5 cases of cutaneous and subcutaneous suppurative inflammation; excellent in osteomyelitis; excellent in 1 and good in 1 of 2 cases of urinary tract infection; failure in enteritis. 2. Adverse reactions were noted on 10 occasions in 9 cases (16.4%), including 1 case of skin eruption, 1 case of eosinophilia, 5 cases of slight elevation of GOT, 1 case of slight elevation of GPT and 2 cases of slight elevation of BUN. 3. Based on the above results, it was concluded that clinical effect of broadcillin 'Banyu' by an intravenous administration is comparable to its intramuscular route and that safety of intravenous usage seems to be verified as long as the above described dosage is followed.

PC-904 was administered to 24 patients: urinary tract infections (7 cases), bronchitis (2 cases), pneumonia (3 cases), brain abscess (1 case), septicemia and the suspected cases (10 cases), and buttock abscess (1 case). The daily dosage varied from 60 to 223.4 mg/kg and averaged 86.9 mg/kg. The drug was administered three times a day by 1-hour drip infusion, and the duration of the treatment averaged 11 days. Clinical results were obtained as excellent responses in 5 cases, good in 13, poor in 4, and unknown in 2, giving 75% of the clinical effectiveness. Bacteriological responses were excellent in 7, good in 2, poor in 2, and unknown in 13, and the overall effectiveness was evaluated as excellent in 2, good in 17, and unknown in 5. Antibacterial activities against clinically isolated bacteria were examined. MIC values of PC-904 were over 100 mg/ml 1 strain of E. coli and 2 strains of Klebsiella, however excellent sensitivities were observed in 3 strains of Ps. aeruginosa and MIC values varied 1.56 to 3.12 microgram/ml at 10(8) of inoculum size and 0.78 to 1.56 microgram/ml at 10(8). As to side effects, diarrhea was observed in 1 case, rash in 2, lowering ob blood pressure in 2, elevation of GOT in 1, and elevation of LDH in 2. Abnormal elevations of GOT (10 cases), GPT (5 cases), A1-P (1 case), LDH (7 cases), and BUN (1 case) were noticed in other patients, but it was considered to be due to underlying diseases.

Cefprozil (CFPZ, BMY-28100), a new oral cephalosporin, was evaluated for its efficacy and safety in 42 children with bacterial infections (Table 1), and the following results were obtained. 1. CFPZ was administered in 3 or 4 divided doses at daily dosages ranging from 15.3 to 60.0 mg/kg to 42 patients (19 cases of acute tonsillitis and/or laryngitis, pharyngitis, 13 cases of pneumonia, 2 cases each of suppurative cervical lymphadenitis and UTI, and 1 case each of scarlet fever, acute otitis media, suppurative parotitis, impetigo contagiosa, furuncle and acute enteritis) and the following clinical results were obtained: excellent; 24 cases, good; 14 cases, fair; 4 cases. The overall efficacy rate was 90.5% (Table 3). 2. MICs of CFPZ against 50 strains of isolated organisms are shown in Table 4. In 19 cases out of 28 cases examined, causative organisms were successfully eradicated and strain of Staphylococcus aureus was decreased in 1 case. 3. Diarrhea was observed in 2 cases (cases 8, 11). In case 8, the symptom disappeared spontaneously. Case 11 improved immediately after the administration of the drug was stopped. Among 39 children who went through laboratory tests, eosinophilia which seemed to be related to the administration of this drug was observed in 2 cases (cases 29, 38). Slight elevations of S-GOT and S-GPT were found in 1 case (case 22) (Table 7). 4. These data suggest that CFPZ is a safe and useful new antibiotic in the treatment of children with susceptible bacterial infections.

Fundamental and clinical effects of cefprozil (CFPZ, BMY-28100) granules, a new oral cephalosporin antibiotic, in pediatric field were investigated. The result obtained were summarized as follows. 1. CFPZ (10% granules) was given to 1 child in a single dose of 7.5 mg/kg. The peak serum concentration of CFPZ was 4.51 micrograms/ml at 2 hours after administration. Half-life and AUC values were 0.98 hour and 20.7 micrograms.hr/ml. The mean peak urinary concentrations of CFPZ and 6 hours recovery rates were over 200 micrograms/ml at 2-6 hours and 27.6%, respectively. 2. Clinical efficacy of CFPZ was investigated in a total of 41 children, including 14 with upper respiratory tract infections, 6 with acute bronchitis and pneumonia, 2 with acute otitis media, 3 with skin and soft tissue infections and 16 with urinary tract infections. The clinical efficacy rate was 95.1%. The bacteriological eradication rate was 84.6%. 3. Two patients showed abnormal laboratory test results. One had elevations of both GOT and GPT, and another had eosinophilia which were attributed to this antibiotic as side effects.
