title: [Experiences with sultamicillin granules in pediatric patients].
abstract: Sultamicillin (SBTPC) is a combination drug of sulbactam (SBT) and ampicillin (ABPC) in an ester bonding at 1:1 ratio. SBT, a new semisynthetic beta-lactamase inhibitor restores and extends the spectrum of ABPC against resistant strains of bacteria. SBTPC granules were administered to 26 pediatric patients with infections, and clinical efficacies were studied in 23 patients. The clinical efficacy rate was 95.7% and the drug was evaluated to be highly effective for the treatment of infectious diseases in the pediatric field. SBTPC was safe and well tolerated.
