title: Cefoxitin in obstetric and gynecologic infections.
abstract: The use of cefoxitin sodium in 178 patients with a wide variety of obstetric and gynecologic infections was studied. Clinical cure occurred in 94% of the study population, and two women with serious underlying medical problems died. These good results with cefoxitin should stimulate prospective studies comparing this drug to currently employed antibiotic regimens.
