title: [Clinical study on norfloxacin in children].
abstract: Norfloxacin (NFLX, AM-715), a new synthetic antibacterial agent, was administered to 18 child patients with infectious diseases. The patients included 5 boys and 13 girls from 3 to 14 years of ages. They were given orally dosage ranging 5.2-17.9 mg/kg/day for 4 to 14 days. Clinical efficacies were excellent in 1 case, good in 16 cases, unknown in 1 case, hence the total efficacy rate was determined to be 100%. There were no cases which showed side effects of the drug and no abnormal laboratory test values were observed during the treatment.
