    Abstract:
    The distribution of the new cephem antibiotic, cefuzonam (CZON) into adnexa uteri and uterine tissues, and clinical efficacy on patients with obstetric and gynecologic infections were studied. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. Concentrations of CZON in arterial and venous blood, oviduct, ovary, endometrium, myometrium, cervix uteri and portio vaginalis tissues were measured. The results demonstrated good transfer of the drug into various internal genital organs. 2. In clinical studies, CZON was given to 5 cases with various infections such as pyometra, acute vulvitis, pelvic peritonitis, pyelonephritis and puerperal intrauterine infection. Clinical efficacies were evaluated as excellent in 2 cases, and good in 3 cases. The efficacy rate was 100%. No side effects were observed in any cases. In laboratory tests, transient elevations of GOT, GPT and gamma-GTP were observed in 1 case. Therefore, it is concluded that CZON is a useful drug for various types of infections in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
