[Fundamental and clinical studies on cefpimizole in the field of obstetrics and gynecology].

Cefpimizole (AC-1370), a new cephem antibiotic, was studied in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, fundamentally and clinically. And the following results were obtained. The concentrations of the drug in uterine arterial and cubital venous blood, and internal genital organs following intravenous drip infusion were measured. The results demonstrated favourable transfer of the drug into the various internal genital organs. Four patients with obstetric and gynecological infections were treated with AC-1370. The therapeutic results were good in 3, and poor in 1 case, therefore the effective rate was 75%. No side effects were noted in any cases, but the severe eosinophilia (37%) was found in 1 patient. It is therefore presumed that AC-1370 is a useful drug for infectious diseases in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
