title: [Cephalexin levels in the bronchial secretion of children (author's transl)].
abstract: Cephalexin serum levels and its content in bronchial secretions have been studied in six children with pneumonia or chronic bronchitis following a single oral doses of 30 to 50 mug/kg body weight. The cephalexin content in bronchial secretions reached values between 0,47 and 2,3 mug/ml (on average 0,84 mug/ml). The percentage of the cephalexin content in bronchial secretions varied from 4,3 to 133 percent (on average 22,6%) as compared to the corresponding serum levels.
