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.

Therapeutic effects of cefprozil (CFPZ, BMY-28100), a new cephalosporin, were examined in various infectious diseases in children. Clinical efficacy rates were 50% (2/4) in acute bronchitis, 80% (4/5) in pharyngitis, 0% in laryngitis, 100% (7/7) in tonsillitis, 100% (8/8) in impetigo contagiosa, furuncle and posthitis. Hence, the overall efficacy rate was 84% (21/25). Adverse effects were observed in 1 case with slightly elevated serum GOT and GPT. Changes in serum concentrations and urinary excretion of CFPZ were examined in 4 and 2 children without infection, respectively. T 1/2 values obtained were between 1 hour to 2 hours (bioassay). Six hour recovery rates in urine were 51.8% and 77.8% (bioassay). CFPZ was considered to be a safe and useful drug in treating various infectious diseases in children.

Laboratory and clinical studies on cefprozil (CFPZ, BMY-28100), a new cephem antibiotic, were carried out in the field of pediatrics. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Serum concentrations, urinary concentrations and urinary recovery rates of CFPZ were determined upon oral administration of CFPZ after meal at doses of 4 mg/kg granules in a case, 7.5 mg/kg granules in 2 cases and 15 mg/kg granules in one. Peak serum levels of CFPZ were obtained at an hour in 3 cases and at 2 hours in 1 case after administration of the drug with a range of 2.7-8.6 micrograms/ml with half-lives of 0.69-0.95 hours. Urinary recovery rates in the first 6 hours after administration ranged from 59.4-71.3%. 2. MICs of CFPZ against 36 clinical isolates (Staphylococcus aureus 4 strains, Streptococcus pneumoniae 5, Streptococcus pyogenes 5, Escherichia coli 5, Haemophilus influenzae 12, Haemophilus parainfluenzae 4, and Branhamella catarrhalis 1) were compared with those of cefaclor (CCL) and ampicillin (ABPC). The antibacterial activity of CFPZ was superior to those of CCL against Gram-positive cocci, and to those of ABPC against E. coli, and was equal to those of CCL and inferior to those of ABPC against H. influenzae. 3. Thirty-seven pediatric patients with acute infectious diseases (pharyngitis/tonsillitis 17, bronchitis 7, pneumonia 3, skin and soft tissue infection 2, and urinary tract infection 8) were treated with CFPZ at daily doses of 10-47 mg/kg t.i.d. as a rule. The efficacy rates were 100% clinically and 56% bacteriologically. 4. Side effects or abnormal laboratory test values were not observed except for an increased platelet count in 1 case and elevated GOT, GPT values in 2 cases.

This study describes the pharmacokinetic characteristics and clinical usefulness of cefpirome (CPR) in children. Mean half-lives of 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg of CPR injected intravenously in one shot were 1.18 and 1.34 hours, respectively, and their mean recovery rates into urine were 69.8 and 72.2%, respectively. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of CPR against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae were the same as or lower than those of ceftazidime. CPR was clinically effective in 14/15 of patients with bacterial infections; 8/9 of pneumonia, 2/2 of bronchitis, 1/1 of pharyngitis, 1/1 of tonsillitis, 1/1 of osteomyelitis, 1/1 of urinary tract infection. No clinically overt side effects of CPR were found, while an increase of eosinophils in blood was observed in 2 cases, and an increase of platelet in blood in 1 case and an elevation of serum GPT activity in 1 case were also observed. These findings indicate that CPR is useful for the treatment of bacterial infections in children.

Pharmacokinetic, bacteriological and clinical studies on cefdinir (CFDN), a newly developed oral cephalosporin, were performed on children with infections. The pharmacokinetics was examined in 3 patients. The peak plasma concentrations were 1.97 micrograms/ml, 0.84 microgram/ml and 1.67 micrograms/ml in the 3 patients. The 0 to 6 or 8-hour urinary excretion rates were 22.2%, 18.1%, and 32.7%, respectively. These results were similar to those in adult patients. Clinical response to CFDN was evaluated in 21 patients, 4 patients with pharyngitis (an efficacy rate of 100%), 7 with tonsillitis (85.7%), 1 with bronchitis (excellent), 1 with pneumonia (fair), 6 with scarlet fever (100%), 1 with staphylococcal scaled skin syndrome (good) and 1 with urinary tract infection (good). Thus, an overall efficacy rate of 90.5% was achieved. With regard to microbiological effect on pathogens, 14 of the 15 strains identified as pathogens were eradicated, with an eradication rate of 93.3%. The safety was evaluated in a total of 23 cases. Diarrhea, elevated eosinophil count and elevated S-GPT were observed in one patient each. The side effect and abnormalities in laboratory tests were not serious, however. It was concluded that CFDN, with its excellent antibacterial effect, was an efficacious and safe drug for the treatment of pediatric infections.

Twenty-six children were treated with cefteram pivoxil (CFTM-PI) and the clinical efficacy and side effects were evaluated. Ages of the patients ranged from 8 months to 9 years. Doses of CFTM-PI ranged 7.5-20.1 mg/kg/day for 4 to 19 days. The twenty-six patients including 10 patients with tonsillitis, 1 pharyngitis, 3 otitis media, 2 scarlet fever, 1 bronchopneumonia, 1 lymphadenitis, 6 urinary tract infections, 1 vaginitis and 1 staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome were evaluated for clinical efficacy. Results were excellent in 11, good in 13, and fair in 2 patients. Out of the 26 patients, one case showed elevated GOT and GPT, and another case showed elevated GOT. The pharmacokinetic study of CFTM-PI was performed in 9 fasting patients whose ages ranged from 2 to 11 years. Serum peak concentrations of CFTM were 0.92 to 1.05 micrograms/ml (mean 0.99 microgram/ml) at 1 to 2 hours after a dose of 1.5 mg/kg each to 3 patients, 1.12 to 1.38 micrograms/ml (mean 1.25 micrograms/ml) after a dose of 3 mg/kg each to 3 patients and 0.66 to 2.1 micrograms/ml (mean 1.17 micrograms/ml) after a dose of 6 mg/kg each to 3 patients. The portions of the drug excreted into urine within 8 hours were 8.9% and 14.7% in 2 patients, each given a dose of 1.5 mg/kg, from 13.0 to 23.1% (mean 18.4%) in 3 patients, each given a dose of 3 mg/kg, and 6.3% and 8.7% in 2 patients, each given a dose of 6 mg/kg.
