Hemodialysis-associated infections: treatment with cephapirin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large doses of cephapirin (50 mg/kg) administered during the first and last half hours of routine hemodialysis produced effective antimicrobial serum concentrations for 48 h. Repetitive administration during five successive hemodialysis sessions did not result in accumulation or accelerated metabolism of cephapirin. Ten infectious episodes in nine patients were treated in this manner with good clinical results and no toxicity.

Treatment of pneumonia and other serious bacterial infections with cephapirin.
Nineteen patients with pneumonia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Escherichia coli were treated with 4 to 18 g of cephapirin daily. There were three treatment failures. One patient each with pneumonia due to E. coli or S. pneumoniae died despite apparent eradication of the pathogen. Lobar pneumonia due to K. pneumoniae progressed during therapy i...
متن کاملShort communication: Efficacy of parenteral ceftiofur for treatment of systemically mild clinical mastitis in dairy cattle.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of intramuscular (i.m.) ceftiofur (2.2 mg/kg) on important outcomes of systemically mild clinical mastitis episodes in lactating dairy cattle. Cows with clinical mastitis were randomly assigned to a treatment group: pirlimycin intramammary (i.m.m.) (n = 35), pirlimycin i.m.m. and ceftiofur i.m.m. (n = 36), cephapirin i.m.m. (n = 40), cephap...
متن کاملRelationship between in vitro susceptibility test results and treatment outcomes for gram-positive mastitis pathogens following treatment with cephapirin sodium.
The selection of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of mastitis has often been based on results of in vitro susceptibility testing. However, the results of in vitro susceptibility tests have been shown to be poor predictors of treatment outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine if an association existed between results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests and outcomes of masti...
متن کاملRandomized clinical trial of intrauterine cephapirin infusion in dairy cows for the treatment of purulent vaginal discharge and cytological endometritis.
The objectives of this study were to quantify the effect of an intrauterine infusion of cephapirin on reproductive performance at first service of postpartum dairy cows affected by purulent vaginal discharge (PVD) and cytological endometritis (ENDO) using different diagnostic strategies, and to determine if the presence of prolonged anovulation would influence the magnitude of treatment benefit...
متن کاملThe Effect of Intrauterine Cephapirin on Treatment of Endometritis in Commercial Dairy Cattle
To evaluate the effect of intrauterine cephapirin on treatment of endometritis 39 Holstein dairy cows that affected with postpartum endometritis were selected and randomly assigned to two experimental designs. In experiment 1, 6 out of 14 cows were 25 to 30 days after parturition were treated by intrauterine oxytetracycline. Another 8 cows were treated by intrauterine cephapirin (Metri-Care). I...
