  • Title: [Pleural empyema and Tauroflex. Study of a new bactericidal agent].
    Author: Marti MC, Moser G, Bordigoni P.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1978 Feb 11; 108(6):215-6. PubMed ID: 341304.
    Abstract:
    A pilot study of 8 cases of lung empyema treated with taurolin, a new bactericidal agent, is reported. Rapid sterilization of exudates and favorable clinical course are discussed. Thanks to the absence of toxicity and its bacteriological efficacy, taurolin is a useful therapeutic agent in pleural empyema. Its use in the prophylaxis of complications in thoracic surgery is suggested.
