title: [Ciprofloxacin: intraocular absorption in man].
abstract: The intraocular penetration of Ciprofloxacin in man: authors have studied the penetration of Ciprofloxacin in the aqueous humor of 30 patients (30 eyes). The concentration in the anterior chamber was on average 0.73 mg/l which is 33% of serum level, from 1.30 hours after a single oral dose of 1000 mg till the 4th hour after this dose. The samples were assessed by a microbiological method. These results are over the minimal inhibitory concentration for many bacterial agents found in endophthalmitis. So this antibiotic may be proposed in the treatment of endophthalmitis. Anyway further investigation is mandatory to assess the safety on efficacy of these antibiotics.
