title: [Evaluation of ceftazidime treatment in septicemia expert systems].
abstract: The septicaemia expert-system (SES) consists of 18 departments of infectious diseases and microbiology in different French university hospitals. In this context, and compared with the totality of cases analyzed, ceftazidime was used by preference in worrying infections, i.e. often older patients, higher frequency of hospital-acquired infections and of multibacterial infections, greater number of pathogens regarded as difficult to eradicate. The results of ceftazidime treatment in these patients were not different from those obtained in the totality of cases.
