[Clinical effects of cefodizime against infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology].

Clinical studies on cefodizime (CDZM) were performed in patients of obstetrics and gynecology. CDZM was given to patients via drip infusion at a daily dose of 2-4 g, and the results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. A total of 10 cases included 5 cases of intrauterine infections (3 cases of puerperal endometritis, 1 endometritis and 1 puerperal fever), 2 intrapelvic infections (1 pelvic dead space infection and 1 parametritis), and 3 Bartholin's abscess. Clinical efficacies were excellent in 3 cases, good in 6 and poor in 1. The efficacy rate was 90% (9/10). 2. Bacteriological efficacies were as follows: eradicated in 3 cases, replaced in 2, decreased in 1, persisted in 1 and unknown in 3. 3. Neither subjective and objective adverse reactions nor abnormal changes in laboratory test values were observed.
