title: [Evaluation of the clinical effect of ceftazidime in the field of obstetrics and gynecology].
abstract: Ceftazidime (CAZ) was administered to patients with obstetrical and gynecological infectious diseases and we studied its clinical effect: CAZ was administered to 24 patients at a dose of 2--4 g per day (twice a day) by drip infusion over a period of 3--11 days (total 6--32 g). The subjects included 19 cases of intrauterine infection, 4 of adnexitis, and 1 of infection of the external genital organs. The overall clinical results were excellent in 6 cases and good in 18 cases, the efficacy rate being 100%. For bacteriological study, 26 strains were isolated from 16 patients. These included Gram-positive bacteria (10 strains), Gram-negative bacteria (6 strains) and anaerobes (10 strains). After CAZ treatment, 4 strains (S. mitis 1, E. coli 1, P. anaerobius 1, B. melaninogenicus 1) were eliminated, but as to the other 22 strains, the results were unknown, because we could not examine microbiology after administration. No clinical side effect or abnormality in laboratory findings was observed.
