[Ceftriaxone and severe infections in medical resuscitation].
Ceftriaxone was used in 24 medical intensive care patients to treat 8 pulmonary infections, 12 septicaemias, 3 urinary tract infections, 1 meningitis. It was administered at a single intravenous dose of 2 g every 24 h. The therapy was successful, clinically and bacteriologically in 16 patients. The reasons of the failures are analysed. Plasma concentrations were obtained: they demonstrate that ceftriaxone is effective when given once a day in most cases.
