    Abstract:
    The efficacy of cefmetazole was studied in an open non-comparative clinical trial comprising 40 patients with infections of the lower respiratory tracts. The clinical efficacy of cefmetazole was excellent and good in 85 per cent of the cases. The bacteriological efficacy amounted to 75 per cent. Adverse reaction due to the treatment with cefmetazole in 6 patients (15 per cent) were recorded. The adverse reactions were not severe, did not require any special treatment or prolongation of the hospitalization term. The use of cefmetazole in the treatment of infections of the lower respiratory tracts was shown to be advisable.
