title: [Clinical study on aztreonam in pediatrics].
abstract: Efficacy and safety of aztreonam (AZT) for 31 cases of infections of children were studied with the following results. Clinical efficacy of AZT for 22 respiratory tract infections, 5 urinary tract infections and 2 gastrointestinal infections was "excellent" for 19 cases (65.5%), "good" for 9 cases (31.0%) and "poor" for 1 case (3.4%) with an overall effective rate of 96.6%. Microbiological effect of AZT for 19 isolated strains (15 cases) was 100% in disappearance of the Gram-negative bacteria and 89.5% on the whole. With regard to side effect of AZT in 31 cases, there was a slight elevation of GPT in 1 case and eosinophilia in 2 cases. It was considered from the above results that AZT is a useful and safe antibiotic for infections of children.
