    Abstract:
    In the treatment of infections arisen in neoplastic patients without neutropenia, 2 antibiotic combinations (aztreonam + oxacillin vs tobramycin + cefoxitin), have been compared with regard to therapeutic effectiveness and tolerability. Twenty patients (age: 30-75) have been studied. Tolerability of both combinations was excellent. Results of this study showed a lower percentage of superinfections and a higher percentage of cure in patients treated with the combination aztreonam + oxacillin, even if the data were not statistically significant.
