Pharmacokinetic and clinical studies of cefteram pivoxil (CFTM-PI, T-2588) fine granules in children were performed and the following results were obtained. 1. Peak serum concentrations in 4 children given orally a dose of 3 mg/kg and 2 children given orally a dose of 6 mg/kg after meal were reached in 3 to 4 hours and the concentration curves were dependent on dosage levels. The urinary recovery rates up to 8 hours were 29.7% in children given a dose of 3 mg/kg and 29.7% in children given a dose of 6 mg/kg. 2. Clinical efficacies were evaluated in 38 patients with bacterial infections. Twenty seven patients were given each doses of 3 mg/kg in 3 times a day and other 11 patients each doses of 6 mg/kg in 3 times. Clinical effects of CFTM-PI were excellent in 18, good in 19, fair in 1 case, hence the overall clinical efficacy rate was 97.4%. 3. Bacteriologically, 24 strains of causative organisms were isolated. The overall bacteriological eradication rate was 81.8%. Antimicrobial activities were excellent especially against Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae. 4. As for the side effects, slight loose stools were observed in 2 cases, and in laboratory tests, elevations of GOT and GPT were observed in 1 case and an elevation of eosinophil was observed in 1 case. But no one needed any treatment. 5. CFTM-PI is a useful and safe oral antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial infections in pediatrics.
