[Clinical studies of cefuzonam in the pediatric field].
Analysis on serum concentrations of cefuzonam (CZON, L-105) in 7 children who received different doses of CZON revealed a dose-response relationship. The half-life of the drug in blood was 0.90 hour. CZON was administered to 17 pediatric patients with bacterial infections. The clinical efficacy rate was 88% (15/17), and the eradication rate of pathogens was 80% (4/5). Only one case of mild diarrhea (1/17) was observed as a side effect associated with CZON.
