title: [A clinical study on gentamicin in the field of surgery].
abstract: Gentamicin (GM), one of the amino-glucosides, was administered intramuscularly to 27 patients with Pseudomonas and/or other antibiotics resistant infections. The clinical evaluation of the results obtained was classified excellent in 1 case good 6, fair 8, none 11 and indeterminate 1, the effectiveness accounting for 57.7 percent. Satisfactory results were noted in wound infections, peritonitis and urinary tract infections. Among untoward side effects, an elevation in GOT and GPT values was observed in 6 cases, an elevation of BUN value in 1, proteinuria in 1 and hematuria in 1. However, it is difficult to conclude that those side effects were attributable to GM itself because blood transfusion or combined therapy with anti-cancer agents was conducted in these cases during the GM therapy.
