  • Title: Treatment of serious obstetric and gynecologic infections with cefoxitin.
    Author: Hager WD, McDaniel PS.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1983 May; 28(5):337-40. PubMed ID: 6152988.
    Abstract:
    In order to evaluate the efficacy of cefoxitin, 25 patients with serious pelvic infections admitted to a community hospital were treated with the drug. Twenty-one patients (84%) responded to this therapy. Three of the four failures (75%) had a pelvic abscess. Resistant organisms included Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and enterococci. The adverse reactions encountered were due to localized phlebitis, which occurred in three patients (12%). The study demonstrated that cefoxitin was successful as a single agent in the treatment of serious soft-tissue pelvic infections.
