title: [Clinical studies on cefuzonam in the field of obstetrics and gynecology].
abstract: In gynecological infections, especially intrapelvic infections, it is sometimes difficult to identify causal microorganisms. In those cases, it becomes a hard task to select most effective antibiotics, hence the use of wide-spectrum antibiotics becomes necessary. We recently had opportunities to clinically use cefuzonam (CZON, L-105) which has a wide range of spectrum against various bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Gram-positive and Gram-negative anaerobes, etc. The following is a summary of the clinical results: 1. In 7 cases of gynecological infections CZON was evaluated "excellent" in 1 case and "good" in 6 cases, thus the efficacy rate was 100%. 2. Against intrauterine infection caused by S. aureus, "excellent" effect was observed. 3. No sign of side effects was noted in any of the cases. 4. In 1 case, slight elevations of S-GOT and S-GPT were recorded but the elevations were transient.
