[Clinical evaluation of cefotaxime in complicated urinary tract infections]

Fourteen cases with complicated urinary tract infection were treated with 2 g of cefotaxime for 5 days; in total doses of 10 g. Excellent or good results were obtained in 11 cases (78.6%) and no adverse reaction was observed. A curious finding was the development of eosinophilia in some patients. The causative mechanisms and clinical meanings of the phenomenon have not been clarified.
