Cefamandole concentrations were determined in the aqueous humor of the anterior chamber of the eye in 10 rabbits and in 15 patients undergoing cataract extraction. The rabbits received 50 mg of cefamandole per kilogram of body weight in the ear vein and humans received 2 g of cefamandole by intravenous injection before operation. The levels recovered were several times higher than the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against the bacteria that are most often responsible for ocular infections.
