title: Cefotaxime and desacetyl-cefotaxime blood levels in hepatic dysfunction.
abstract: Serum levels of cefotaxime and desacetyl-cefotaxime were studied in 18 patients with hepatic cirrhosis after an intravenous bolus injection of 2 g of cefotaxime. Blood levels were independent of the degree of hepatic dysfunction and did not differ from those reported in normal individuals.
