[Clinical studies on cefoperazone in gynecological and obstetrical field (author's transl)].

Fourteen patients suffering from female genital organ infections including mastitis and urinary tract infections were treated with cefoperazone (CPZ). CPZ was administered intravenously or by drip infusion at a dose of 2.0-4.0 g/day for 3-7 days. Clinical results obtained were as follows: Of 8 patients with genital organ infections, excellent responses were seen in 2 patients, good responses in 5 patients. Of 3 patients with mastitis, good responses were seen in all the patients. Of 3 patients with pyelonephritis, excellent and good responses were seen in all the patients. No adverse effects and abnormal laboratory findings were observed. From the above results, we concluded that CPZ was an effective and safe antibiotic against infections in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
