    Abstract:
    The concentrations of cefepime in pancreatic pseudocyst fluid (n = 4), pancreatic tissue (n = 4) and pancreatic fistula fluid (n = 1), and simultaneous plasma concentrations, were measured after intravenous administration of a single 2 g dose to nine patients. Mean plasma concentration was 27.4 mg/L between 120 and 200 min after the end of infusion. Mean pancreatic cefepime concentration was 6.3 mg/L in pseudocyst and 10.7 mg/L in pancreatic tissue. Cefepime was detected by 30 min after the end of the perfusion in pancreatic fistulae fluid, and persisted at 8 h. We conclude that cefepime is a potentially useful antibiotic in prevention and treatment of pancreatic infection.
