title: [Clinical studies on cefotiam in pediatric infections (author's transl)].
abstract: Our investigation of cefotiam in pediatric infection produced the following results: 1. Cefotiam was administered intravenously by one shot or drip infusion in 20 patients with infectious diseases. These diseases consisted of 13 pneumonia, 3 upper respiratory tract infections, 3 pyelonephritis, 2 other urinary tract infections and one purulent meningitis. Cefotiam was effective in all cases. 2.
