  • Title: Newer antibiotics: their place in geriatric care. Part I.
    Author: Gleckman RA, Bergman MM.
    Journal: Geriatrics; 1986 Dec; 41(12):51-5. PubMed ID: 3465671.
    Abstract:
    The third-generation cephalosporins offer considerable appeal for treatment of specific life-threatening infections (nosocomial pneumonia, meningitis, urosepsis) in elderly patients when the disorders are caused by aerobic gram-negative bacilli. Despite the frequent presence of cross-reactive antibodies in the sera of recipients of cephalosporins, clinically evident serious reactions to cephalosporins occur infrequently in patients with known penicillin allergy.
