Eleven year-old male and 12 year-old female were administered orally at a dose level of 5.6 and 6.0 mg/kg, respectively, after or before meal. Cmax and T1/2 were 5.0 micrograms/ml and 2.13 hours, respectively, for the male and 4.04 micrograms/ml and 1.63 hours, respectively, for the female. 2. Good clinical responses were obtained in 21 of 22 child patients with bacterial pharyngitis, tonsillitis, scarlet fever and urinary tract infections.
