[Fundamental and clinical studies on ceftriaxone in the field of obstetrics and gynecology].
Fundamental and clinical studies on ceftriaxone (CTRX, Ro 13-9904), a new cephalosporin antibiotic, were carried out with the following results. Concentration of CTRX was examined in serum, internal genital organs and retroperitoneal fluid after single intravenous administration of 1.0 g dose. The venous serum level of CTRX was 156 micrograms/ml at 5 minutes after the administration. The favorable transfer of CTRX to internal genital organs and retroperitoneal fluid was demonstrated. In clinical trial, CTRX was given to 10 cases with obstetrical and gynecological infections such as endometritis, adnexitis, pelvic peritonitis and parametritis. The efficacy was evaluated as excellent in 1 case, good in 8 cases and poor in 1 case. No side effects were observed in any of the cases treated with CTRX.
