Clinical trials were carried out on the use of sulbactam/ampicillin (SBT/ABPC) (combination rate of 1:2) in pediatric infections. Results were as follows: 1. The mean half-lives of SBT and ABPC in the serum following intravenous injection of SBT/ABPC were about 1.05 and 0.90 hours, respectively. 2. The mean urinary excretions of SBT and ABPC in 6 hours after intravenous injection of SBT/ABPC were 71.2% and 62.2%, respectively. 3. SBT/ABPC was administered to 23 pediatric patients with various infections: 17 patients with pneumonia, 3 with tonsillitis, 2 with urinary tract infection and 1 with cervical lymphadenitis. The overall efficacy rate was 95.7%. In particular, 2 urinary tract infections caused by highly beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli were improved by the treatment with SBT/ABPC. 4. No adverse reactions were observed except 2 cases of mild diarrhea. Abnormal laboratory test values included thrombocytosis in 4 and slight elevation of GOT and GPT in 1, but they were transient.

The new antibiotic, sulbactam/ampicillin (SBT/ABPC) was administered to 25 children. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. In 5 cases of children administered with SBT/ABPC (30 mg/kg) by intravenous drip infusion for 30 minutes, the mean values of T 1/2 (beta) were 0.94 hour (SBT) and 0.86 hour (ABPC) and the mean 6.5 hour urinary excretion rates were 64.2% and 42.9%, respectively. 2. The antibiotic was administered to a total of 25 patients with bronchopneumonia, pneumonia, bronchitis, cervical lymphadenitis, tonsillitis, streptococcal infection, urinary tract infection, felon, periappendicular abscess, sepsis or purulent meningitis. Response to the treatment were excellent in 17 cases, good in 7, fair in 1, and poor in none. The efficacy rate was 96%. From our results, this drug appears to be particularly effective against bronchopneumonia, bronchitis and urinary tract infection. 3. Eruption occurred in 1 of 25 patients and elevation of eosinophil, GOT/GPT, platelet in 3 and descent of WBC in 1 were observed, but these were transient. These results showed that SBT/ABPC is a drug which can be safely used in the pediatric field as well as for adults.

We have carried out laboratory and clinical studies on sulbactam/ampicillin (SBT/ABPC). The results are summarized as follows. SBT/ABPC was given by 30-minute drip infusion to 1 child at a single dose of 15 mg/kg and to 2 children at a single dose of 30 mg/kg. After the 30-minute drip infusion, peak serum levels of ABPC(SBT) obtained for the 2 dose levels were 18.0 micrograms/ml (12.4 micrograms/ml) for the former dose level and 81.0 micrograms/ml (53.7 micrograms/ml) and 300 micrograms/ml (200 micrograms/ml) for the latter at the end of injection, and half-lives were 0.84 hour (0.82 hour) for the former and 0.96 hour (1.44 hours) and 0.93 hour (1.19 hours) for the latter. In another trial, SBT/ABPC was given to 1 child at a single dose of 60 mg/kg. After the 30-minute drip infusion, peak serum level of ABPC (SBT) was 82.3 micrograms/ml (45.9 micrograms/ml), and half-life was 1.20 hours (1.36 hours). The urinary excretion rates of ABPC (SBT) were 51.3% (49.5%), 55.8 +/- 10.4% (65.3 +/- 9.1%), 74.0% (76.1%) up to 6 hours after the 30-minute drip infusion of 15 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg, respectively. Treatment with SBT/ABPC was made in 21 cases of pediatric bacterial infections: 8 cases of tonsillitis, 4 cases of bronchitis, 3 cases of pneumonia and 1 case each of pharyngitis, peritonsillar abscess, lymphadenitis, impetigo, abscess and urinary tract infection. Results obtained were excellent in 14 cases, good in 7 cases. No significant side effect due to the drug was observed in any cases except 1 case of fever and rash.

Cefodizime (THR-221, CDZM), a new cephalosporin antibiotic, was evaluated for its safety and efficacy in 27 children with various bacterial infections. The episodes of infections included pneumonia (6 cases), bronchopneumonia (11 cases), lung abscess (1 case), acute pharyngitis (2 cases), cervical lymphadenitis (1 case), infected cephalohematoma (1 case), urinary tract infection (1 case), sepsis (2 cases) and purulent meningitis (2 cases). CDZM was effective in all but one, and its efficacy rate was 96.3%. The main etiologic pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Escherichia coli, Citrobacter freundii and Branhamella catarrhalis. The elimination rate was 92.3%. As adverse reactions or abnormalities, diarrhea was encountered in 4 cases. A slight elevation of serum transaminases or eosinophils was observed in 4 cases. The serum half-life was approximately 1.8-1.9 hours in children after intravenous bolus injections. Concentrations of CDZM in cerebrospinal fluids were well above MIC values of CDZM against those organisms responsible for the infections. The data suggest that CDZM is a safe and effective antibiotic when used in children with bacterial infections including purulent meningitis.

Cefodizime (CDZM, THR-221), a new cephem antibiotic, was investigated for its clinical efficacy and pharmacokinetics in children. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. Antimicrobial activities Antimicrobial activities of CDZM against clinically isolated organisms were determined. MICs of CDZM against 1 strain each of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 0.05 micrograms/ml to 0.10 micrograms/ml. Especially, MIC against all 6 strains of Haemophilus influenzae was less than or equal to 0.024 micrograms/ml. This MIC value was lower than those of other antibiotics such as cefotaxime, cefotiam, cefazolin, piperacillin. 2. Pharmacokinetics CDZM was given to 1 case at a dose of 20 mg/kg by a 60-minute intravenous drip infusion. The peak value of serum concentration of CDZM was 207.80 micrograms/ml at the end of the infusion. The half-life was 2.15 hours. The mean urinary excretion rate was 68.5% in the first 4 hours, 79.2% in 6 hours and 76.5% in 8 hours after the 30-minute drip infusion. 3. Clinical efficacy CDZM was given to a total of 27 patients, 13 with pneumonia, 1 with bronchitis, 2 with acute pharyngitis, 1 with purulent tonsillitis, 5 with urinary tract infection, 1 each with retrograde cholangitis, acute enteritis, pericementitis, phlegmon and inguinal lymphadenitis.

Laboratory and clinical studies on cefteram pivoxil(cefteram) 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 cefteram (CFTM) were determined upon oral administration after meal of cefteram pivoxil (CFTM-PI) at doses of 3 mg/kg granules in 2 cases and 6 mg/kg granules in 2. Peak serum levels of CFTM were obtained at 3 hours in 2 cases and 4 hours in 2 cases after administration of the drug with a range of 0.74-2.2 micrograms/ml with half-lives of 0.77-3.62 hours. Urinary recovery rates in 8 hours after administration ranged from 9.6-23.0%. 2. MICs of CFTM against 22 clinical isolates (Streptococcus pyogenes 4 strains, Streptococcus pneumoniae 4, Staphylococcus aureus 2, Branhamella catarrhalis 1, Haemophilus influenzae 8, Haemophilus parainfluenzae 1, and Escherichia coli 2) were compared with those of cefaclor (CCL), cephalexin (CEX), and ampicillin (ABPC). The antibacterial activity of CFTM was superior to those of CCL and CEX, and was superior against Gram-negative rods and equal against Gram-positive cocci to those of ABPC. 3. Twenty-six pediatric patients with acute infectious diseases (scarlet fever 3 cases, tonsillitis 7, epiglottitis 1, bronchitis 5, pneumonia 5, urinary tract infection 3, cervical lymphadenitis 2) were treated with CFTM-PI at daily doses of 9.3-15.3 mg/kg t.i.d. as a rule. The efficacy rates were 100% clinically and 70% bacteriologically. 4. Side effects or abnormal laboratory test values were not observed except for an increased platelet count in 1 case.
