title: [Laboratory and clinical studies on cefpimizole in the field of gynecology].
abstract: Cefpimizole (AC-1370), a new cephalosporin antibiotic, was evaluated for its distribution in uterine tissue, penetration into retroperitoneal exudate and therapeutical effects on some infections in gynecology. The following results were obtained; The levels of AC-1370 in the cubital vein were similar to those in the uterine artery and this remained in the course of examinations after an 1 g intravenous injection. Seven patients with gynecological infections received AC-1370 by intravenous injection. The overall efficacy rate was 85.7%. No adverse reaction was observed in any of the cases treated with AC-1370, nor was there any marked changes in the laboratory findings.
