  • Title: [Clinical experience with cefixime in the pediatric infections].
    Author: Furukawa S, Okada T.
    Journal: Jpn J Antibiot; 1986 Apr; 39(4):1128-37. PubMed ID: 3761541.
    Abstract:
    We used cefixime (CFIX), a newly developed oral cephalosporin antibiotic, to treat 21 children with various infections. The results are summarized as follows. The serum half-lives of CFIX after an administration of 6 mg/kg to each of 2 children were 2.56 and 2.79 hours. The serum concentrations were high enough to ensure the therapeutic response. The clinical response was "excellent" in 16 children and "good" in 5, with a 100% efficacy rate. No side effects were recorded. The only abnormal finding was slight eosinophilia in 1 child.
