[Clinical effects of CS-1170 on respiratory tract infections. II: Mainly on the use of 2 g piggy bag alone (author's transl)].

The following results have been obtained in our trial of CS-1170, in 2 g piggy bag, on the respiratory tract infections: 1) CS-1170 was found to be effective in all the cases treated, including 6 cases in which CS-1170 was used alone. The cases treated with CS-1170 included those cases in which no other antibiotics had been used, as well as 5 cases in which other penicillins and cephalosporins were found to be ineffective or not adequately effective. The results indicate the usefulness of CS-1170 in the treatment of the respiratory tract infections. 2) Slight elevation of GOT and GPT was observed in one case as the side effect of CS-1170. No abnormality was found in other laboratory tests. The incidence of side effects of CS-1170 is believed to be not higher than those of other cephalosporins.
