title: [Clinical experience with chemotherapy using sulbactam/cefoperazone for severe infections accompanying malignant hematological disorders].
abstract: Clinical and bacteriological efficacies of sulbactam/cefoperazone (SBT/CPZ) were studied in 44 patients with serious infections associated with hematological malignancy. 1. SBT/CPZ was clinically effective in 33 cases (76.7%). Excellent effects were obtained in 23 cases, good effects in 10 cases and fairly good effects in 7 cases. Clinical effectiveness of SBT/CPZ was not dependent on neutrophil number in peripheral blood. 2. Bacteriologically SBT/CPZ was effective against all of the isolated organisms from 21 cases. 3. Adverse reactions were not significant except one case with eruption, 2 cases with abnormalities in hepatic function tests and 3 cases with abnormalities in renal function tests.
