[Clinical evaluation of cefprozil granules in pediatric field].
Cefprozil (CFPZ, BMY-28100) granules were administered to 20 children with bacterial infections: acute tonsillitis 8, acute bronchitis 10, purulent lymphadenitis 1, urinary tract infection 1. Daily doses ranged 29-50 mg/kg. The drug was given orally, 3 times a day and the durations of administration were 5 to 9 days. Clinical efficacies were excellent in 16 cases and good in 4 cases, hence the overall efficacy rate was 100%. No side effects were observed in any of these cases. As for abnormal laboratory test values, thrombocytosis was observed in 1 case. From the above results, we consider CFPZ granules to be a useful drug for the treatment of pediatric patients with various bacterial infections.
