title: [Clinical evaluation of imipenem/cilastatin sodium in the pediatric field].
abstract: Imipenem/cilastatin sodium (MK-0787/MK-0791) was evaluated for its safety and efficacy in 7 pediatric patients with infections. The clinical efficacy ratio was 100 percent. No side effect was observed except for elevations of S-GOT and S-GPT and eosinophilia in 1 patient. It may be considered that MK-0787/MK-0791 is a safe and useful antibiotic for the treatment of pediatric infections.
