    Abstract:
    Aztreonam (AZT) was studied for the transfer into the pelvic dead space exudate in 5 patients who received radical hysterectomy due to uterocervical cancer, and for the clinical efficacy in the treatment of 5 cases of obstetrical and gynecological infections. Transfer into the pelvic dead space exudate Data analysis was performed by the simulation curves prepared from pharmacokinetic parameters using the two-compartment model. On examination, the serum concentration of cubital venous serum was found to be 53.20 micrograms/ml at 1 hour after the start of 1-hour intravenous drip infusion of 1 g of AZT. Also, the shifting concentration of the pelvic dead space exudate was found to have reached its peak value of 12.79 micrograms/ml at 3.22 hours after the start of the infusion, and still showed the value of more than 7 micrograms/ml even at 8 hours after the start of the infusion. The AUC was 112.81 micrograms X hr/ml. Clinical evaluation AZT was administered at a daily dose of 2-4 g in 2 divided doses by intravenous injection and intravenous drip infusion for 60 minutes. Clinical efficacy of the 5 patients with acute and moderate degree obstetrical and gynecological infections was; excellent in 1 case, good in 3 cases and poor in 1 case, with the overall efficacy rate of 80.0%.
