  • Title: Clinical trial of cefuroxime axetil in children.
    Author: Carson JW, Watters K, Taylor MR, Keane CT.
    Journal: J Antimicrob Chemother; 1987 Jan; 19(1):109-12. PubMed ID: 3494006.
    Abstract:
    Cefuroxime axetil tablets were given to 12 children (aged 19 months to 13.5 years) for a total of 14 episodes of lower respiratory tract infection. Doses ranged from 15 to 32 mg/kg/day. Six infections were regarded as cured and seven improved. In four cases, Haemophilus influenzae was present at the end of treatment. Serum levels of cefuroxime showed great variability. Absorption and penetration of the drug into the lower respiratory mucosa may not be sufficient to kill organisms which are sensitive in vitro. Cefuroxime axetil tablets were acceptable to most children.
