Clinical efficacy of cefroxadine dry syrup, a new oral cephalosporin antibiotic, was evaluated in children, and the following results were obtained. 1. Three children were given a single oral dose of about 10 mg/kg of the drug when fasting, and its blood concentrations were determined. Blood concentrations were maximum at 30 approximately 60 minutes, i.e., 16.9 approximately 18.2 microgram/ml, and markedly low at 4 hours. 2. Thirty-six patients with the following diseases were tested with 23.1 approximately 44.4 mg/kg/day of the drug in 3 to 4 divided doses; 21 patients with lacunar tonsillitis, 2 with tonsillitis, 1 with scarlet fever, 4 with bronchitis and tonsillitis, 2 with cystitis, 4 with pyelonephritis, 1 with impetigo and 1 with probable Mycoplasma pneumonia. An overall efficacy rate in 35 patients excluding the last mentioned case was 91.4%, i.e., excellent in 20, good in 12 and poor in 3, and an eradication rate of the causative organisms was 88.9%. 3. Adverse reactions noted were diarrhea in 1 patient, eruption and diarrhea in 1 transient neutropenia in 1, eosinophilia in 3 and an elevation of GOT and GPT in 1. None were significant. 4. Taste and flavor of the drug was considered to be well palatable to children. 5. Taking into consideration of the results of fundamental evaluation of the drug, cefroxadine dry syrup is considered to be a potent new antibiotic in children, and the recommended dose will be 10 mg/kg 3 to 4 times a day.

Clinical studies were carried out on SY5555, a new oral penem, in the field of pediatrics. The results obtained are summarized below. The clinical efficacies were examined in a total 31 patients consisting of 4 patients with pharyngitis, 10 with purulent tonsillitis, 4 with scarlet fever, 7 with impetigo, one with balanitis, one with cellulitis and 4 with UTI. The clinical efficacy rate was 96.8% (30/31). Bacteriological efficacies of SY5555 were examined on identified pathogens including 7 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 6 of Streptococcus pyogenes, 3 of Enterococcus faecalis, 3 of Haemophilus influenzae, one of Escherichia coli and one of Citrobacter freundii. The bacteriological eradication rate was 81.0%. As for side effects, loose stool in one patient was noted. Abnormal laboratory findings test results included eosinophilia in 2 patients, eosinophilia and elevation of serum transaminase in one patient, and thrombocytosis in another.

S-1108 in a fine granular form was administered in 14 children and its safety and efficacy in bacterial infections were evaluated. Among them, 2 cases of cystitis and 1 case of pneumonia were considered unevaluable for the efficacy. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. The overall clinical efficacy rate was 81.8% in the eleven evaluable cases treated with S-1108 fine granules including 5 cases of pharyngitis, 2 cases each of tonsillitis, pertussis and cystitis. 2. Bacteriological efficacy of 100% was achieved against pathogens identified in 5 children including 1 case each of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Haemophilus influenzae and 2 cases of Escherichia coli. 3. The only abnormal laboratory test results observed were eosinophilia and leukocytopenia in one case each. Diarrhea was recorded in 1 case. Judging from the above results, it appears that S-1108 in the fine granular form is an effective, useful and safe antibiotic of first choice for the treatment of infections in the pediatric field.

Nine pediatric patients with bacterial infections (5 cases of tonsillitis, 3 cases of impetigo and 1 case of UTI) were treated with S-1108, and the efficacy and the safety were evaluated. The clinical responses to S-1108 treatment were excellent in 7 cases and good in 2. The efficacy rate was 100%. Bacteriologically, the causative organisms (Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus parainfluenzae and Escherichia coli) were eradicated. No clinical side effects were observed. Elevation of CK in 2 cases and eosinophilia in 1 case were noted.

Azithromycin (AZM), a newly developed azalide antibiotic, was administered at a standard dose of 10 mg/kg once daily for 3 days to pediatric patients with bacterial infections and the therapeutic efficacy of AZM was investigated. 1. A total of 12 patients with the following diseases was evaluated: pharyngitis in two, tonsillitis in four, bronchitis in one, Mycoplasma pneumonia in one, scarlet fever in two and enteritis in two. The drug was rated "excellent" in eight cases and "good" in four. 2. Eleven strains were isolated from patients: five strains of Streptococcus pyogenes, four strains of Haemophilus influenzae, and two strains of Haemophilus parainfluenzae. Isolated bacteria were eradicated in eight strains and persisting in one, resulting in 88.9% in eradication rate. No follow-up examinations in post-treatment were performed in two cases. 3. No adverse reaction was reported, while one case of eosinophilia was noted as an abnormal laboratory test value. 4. As far as compliance is concerned, patients claimed that the formulation of the drug is "easy to take" or "ordinary". With the results presented as above, we have concluded that AZM is a useful antibiotic in pediatric patients with bacterial infections.

Pharmacokinetic, bacteriological and clinical studies were performed in pediatrics on tazobactam/piperacillin (TAZ/PIPC), a combined drug of a new beta-lactamase inhibitor tazobactam and piperacillin at a ratio of 1:4. 1. Serum levels and urinary excretions of TAZ, PIPC and desethyl piperacillin (DEt-PIPC), a metabolite of PIPC, after one shot intravenous administration of 50 mg/kg of TAZ/PIPC to two children (6-7 years old) were investigated. The serum TAZ level at 0.08 hour was 50.8-51.0 micrograms/ml after administration. Then TAZ concentrations gradually decreased with half-lives of 0.38-0.45 hour, and reached 1.0-1.4 micrograms/ml after 2 hours and was not detected after 3 hours and 6 hours. Serum PIPC levels at 0.08 hour was 167.0-231.0 micrograms/ml after administration. Then PIPC concentrations gradually decreased with half-lives of 0.41-0.55 hour, and reached 1.2-2.4 micrograms/ml after 3 hours and was not detected after 6 hours. DEt-PIPC was detected slightly in serum. A ratio of TAZ to PIPC was about 1 to 4 in serum at each time. Urinary recovery rates of TAZ in the first 6 hours after administration of TAZ/PIPC were 33.5-90.1% and those of PIPC were 41.9-77.8% and those of DEt-PIPC were 1.5-2.8%. 2. TAZ/PIPC was administered to 27 pediatric patients (their ages ranged between 2 months and 11 years old) with various infections, and clinical and bacteriological effects and adverse reactions were investigated. Single doses were 26.2-55.6 mg/kg, frequencies of administration were 3-4 times a day, and durations of administration were 3 1/3-7 1/3 days, and total dosages were 4.5-33.75 g. Clinical effects were evaluable in 26 cases. Responses were rated as "good" in acute purulent tonsillitis 1 case and acute purulent otitis media 1 case, as "excellent" in acute sinusitis 1 case, as "excellent" in 2 and "good" in 1 out of 3 cases of acute bronchitis, as "excellent" in 13 and "good" 2 out of 15 cases of acute pneumonia, as "excellent" in acute urinary tract infection 2 cases and as "excellent" in acute enteritis in 1 case, acute appendicitis in 1 case and lymphadentis in 1 case. In all cases, the results were rated as "good" or "excellent". Antimicrobial effects against a total of 10 strains identified or assumed to be pathogenic bacteria were evaluated. The 10 strains of bacteria included 4 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, 3 strains of Haemophilus influenzae (2 strains beta-lactamase producing), 2 strains of beta-lactamase producing Moraxella catarrhalis, 1 strain of beta-lactamase producing Morganella morganii. All the bacteria listed here were judged to have been eradicated. Adverse reaction was observed in 1 case with mild diarrhea. As abnormal changes in laboratory data, leucocytopenia in 1 case, elevation of GOT. GPT in 2 cases and eosinophilia in 1 case were observed. On the basis of the findings, TAZ/PIPC was considered to be effective and safe in the treatment of pediatric infections.
