The overall incidence of adverse drug reactions following ampicillin and amoxicillin administration to 439 and 169 indoor patients of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi were 19.13% and 15.5% respectively. Ampicillin produced diarrhoea (7.74%), nausea and vomiting (7.74%) anorexia (5.46%) headache (4.10%) and allergic reactions (2.9%). With amoxicillin, anorexia was observed in 4.79%, epigastric distress in 5.9% headache in 6.58%, coating of tongue in 8.98% and dizziness in 1.79% of patients. Intramuscular route of administration of ampicillin produced least ADRs. Females were more susceptible to adverse reactions of ampicillin and males to amoxicillin. Incidence of ADRs by these two aminopenicillins is less than that reported from abroad.

A 43-year-old woman with alcoholism developed hearing loss, dizziness, unsteady walking, frequent urination, memory disorders, and later a manifest drop of bilateral vision. The patient denied syphilis. Examinations revealed bilateral panuveitis, bilateral neurosensory amblyacusia, vestibulopathy, and imperative urges to urination. Serological tests were positive with both Treponema and other than Treponema antigens. The cerebrospinal fluid was normal. Ampicillin therapy was ineffective. The clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment of syphilitic uveitis are discussed; the authors point out that it is often associated with neurosyphilis. The condition is extremely rare nowadays.

A 52-year-old man was admitted to a local hospital with headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, photophobia, and confusion after a sudden fall. Progressive changes in neurologic function were noted despite neurosurgical intervention and broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage. Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) culture identified Acinetobacter baumannii that was resistant to traditionally recommended therapies of amikacin and imipenem-cilastatin. The organism demonstrated minimum inhibitory concentrations of greater than 32 microg/ml and 8 microg/ml, respectively, for these two agents. Ampicillin 2 g-sulbactam 1 g every 3 hours was administered based on history of therapeutic failure of traditional dosing in our thermal injury population. Repeat CSF cultures after 12 days of ampicillin-sulbactam therapy were negative. After 35 days, the patient's A. baumannii infection was completely resolved. The patient experienced no adverse drug events or toxicity with this high-dosage regimen.
