Intraocular penetration of the antibiotic fucidin.

چکیده
The steroid antibiotic Fucidin, or sodium fusidate, has been in use for a number of years as an antistaphylococcal agent. It has been used empirically in the treatment of intraocular staphylococcal infection, but there has been no study of the degrees of penetration of the drug into the aqueous humour in the normal intact human eye, and the present study was therefore undertaken to investigate this phenomcnon.
