Abstract

Ceftriaxone CTRX was evaluated about its antibacterial activity against clinical isolates at our department and tried clinically in 10 children of 6 months to 10 years and 6 months of age. The antibacterial activity was equal to cefotaxime or higher while the clinical results were almost satisfactory. Three out of 4 strains were eradicated (75%). As to the adverse reaction, eosinophilia was observed only in 1 case.
