[Efficacy and reversible nephrotoxicity of cefsulodin during treatment of septicemia from Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of a pacemaker].
A case of P. aeruginosa septicaemia originating from a pace-maker electrode is described. Cure was obtained by surgical ablation of the contaminated electrode by a right thoracotomy and monotherapy with cefsulodin, an antibacterial agent. Nephrotoxicity was observed during treatment and regressed after its withdrawal. No other potentially nephrotoxic drug was used. The therapeutic indications of new beta-lactamase stable cephalosporins are reviewed.
