title: [Study of cefamandole in neonatal purulent meningitis caused by E. coli (author's transl)].
abstract: Cefamandole (CMD) was intravenously drip infusion administered at daily dose of 400 mg/kg to the neonate with purulent meningitis caused by E. coli which was resistant to ABPC. In clinical application, CMD was evaluated as effective, although 6 mg/kg/day of GM given concomitantly. No adverse effect and abnormal laboratory findings were observed. This study would support the clinical usefulness of CMD in severe neonatal infection especially like meningitis.
