    Author: Giacometti A, Pongetti P, Petrelli E, Scalise G.
    Journal: J Chemother; 1990 Aug; 2(4):247-51. PubMed ID: 2230909.
    Abstract:
    We studied the clinical efficacy and safety of imipenem, a broad spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic, in acute bacterial infections in 21 patients with AIDS or AIDS-related complex (ARC). Imipenem/cilastatin was administered as a 30-min intravenous infusion using a dose of 500 mg/8 h. Bacterial pathogens were isolated before treatment in 80% of cases; 87.5% of all strains were susceptible to imipenem in vitro. Treatment resulted in rapid control of the infections in 80% of patients. Clinical and laboratory adverse reactions probably related to imipenem treatment were noted in 8 patients.
