title: [Basic and clinical studies of aztreonam in the field of obstetrics and gynecology].
abstract: Aztreonam (AZT), a new monobactam antibiotic, was basically and clinically applied to the field of obstetrics and gynecology, obtaining the following results. The pelvic dead space exudate level of AZT after 30 minutes-intravenous drip infusion of 1 g attained the peak of 22.66 micrograms/ml at 1 hour from initiation of infusion and thereafter declined gradually, contrasting the peak of 34.38 micrograms/ml of the cubital vein at 30 minutes. Total of 13 cases comprising 4 with intrauterine infection, 5 with adnexitis and 4 with pelveoperitonitis were intravenously treated with AZT at a dose of 1 g twice daily. The overall clinical results were excellent in 3 cases and good in 10 cases. No side effects were observed in any of the cases treated with AZT.
