[Effectiveness of cefmetazole in treatment of wound infection].
The cefmetazole efficacy was studied in an open non-comparative clinical trial in the treatment of 40 patients with wound infections. The clinical results were excellent and good in 90 per cent of the cases. In 2.5 per cent of the cases the treatment failed. In 7.5 per cent of the cases the results could not be evaluated. The bacteriological efficacy of cefmetazole was equal to 80 per cent. The drug tolerance was good and only in 3 patients allergic reactions were observed. No hepatotoxic or nephrotoxic effects were recorded. The results were indicative of the advisability of the cefmetazole use in the treatment of wound infections.
