Abstract:
It is well documented that to evaluate the efficacy of an antibiotic treatment it is important to know the relationships between the drug and the cells belonging to the immune system, by studying the possible effects on some cellular functions, particularly in immunosuppressed and immunodeficient patients. We describe the influence of cefixime, a new orally administered cephalosporin, on some polymorphonuclear cell (PMN) and monocyte functions from healthy donors and from patients affected by chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL).
