Clinical effects of SY5555 dry syrup, a new oral penem antibiotic, were analysed in 20 children with various bacterial infections. Ages of the patients varied from 8 months to 14 years. Doses of SY5555 were varied from 12.8 mg/kg/day to 30.5 mg/kg/day, and it was administered in 3 divided dosages. Clinical efficacy rates were as follows; 6/7 in acute bronchitis, 5/5 in pharyngotonsillitis, 3/3 in acute otitis media and 2/2 in cystitis and 3/3 in impetigo contagiosa. The overall rate was 95.0% (19/20). Bacteriologically, eradications were obtained with 1/2 strains of Streptococcus pyogenes, 3/3 of Staphylococcus aureus, 1/1 of Haemophilus influenzae, and each of Staphylococcus epidermidis, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, coagulase-negative staphylococci and Serratia marcescens. Diarrhea was observed in 1 patient. And elevated eosinophiles or GPT was observed in one patient each. In vivo pharmacokinetics of SY5555 was examined in 2 cases. Peak plasma levels were observed at 1 hour after dosage in one patient and at 2 hours in another upon oral administration of 8.3 mg/kg of SY5555, and peak levels were 2.44 and 1.38 micrograms/ml respectively. Half-lives of SY5555 were 1.39 and 0.59 hr. Concentrations of SY5555 in urine after administration were 70.2 (2-4 hrs.) to 91.0 (0-5 hrs.) micrograms/ml, respectively. SY5555 dry syrup is considered as an useful and safe antibiotic in treating the infectious diseases in children.

35 children between 9 months and 12 years of ages were given 9.1 to 12.2 mg/kg of azithromycin (AZM) once a day for 3 days. In the treatment of pediatric infectious diseases, we studied pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safetiness of AZM. After administration of 10 mg/kg/day of AZM for 3 days, the elimination half-life was calculated to be 3.8 +/- 16.3 hours (n = 6, mean +/- S.D.). The excretion rate of AZM in the urine within 120 hours of administration was 9.0 +/- 2.3% (n = 5). For the evaluation of efficacy of AZM, we treated 33 cases of children with pharyngotonsillitis, bronchitis, mycoplasma bronchitis, pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia, atypical pneumonia, and SSTI. The efficacy rate of these cases were 93.9%. 6 strains of bacteria were identified as causative agents. All strains were eradicated upon the treatment. One case of elevated GOT and GPT and two cases of elevated GPT were observed. No clinical adverse reactions were observed. In conclusion, AZM was useful for the treatment of pediatric infectious diseases were examined.
