Abstract:
The article reports on the incidence, the conditions of occurrence, possibilities and successes of treatment with certain (combinations of) antibiotics, in dealing with cases of pseudomonas meningitis. The various possible substances used for treatment are discussed. Rates of penetration and CSF concentrations of azlocillin and cefsulodin are stated. Alternative possibilities for treatment are pointed out.
