title: [Clinical study on norfloxacin in pediatrics].
abstract: Pediatric infections were treated with norfloxacin (NFLX), a pyridonecarboxylic acid antibiotic developed by Kyorin Co., Ltd., to investigate its clinical efficacy. 1. Thirteen patients were treated with NFLX. These patients included of 5 with Campylobacter enteritis, 4 with Salmonella enteritis, 3 with dysentery and 1 with acute enteritis. 2. Of 14 pathogens identified, complete eradications were observed with 13 strains and partial eradication was seen in 1 case. Thus, overall eradication rate was 92.9%. 3. These were no symptoms nor abnormal laboratory findings which indicated an occurrence of side effect due to the NFLX treatment.
