[Clinical experience with cefsulodin in the field of otorhinolaryngology]

Clinical evaluation of cefsulodin (CFS) in treatment of infection in otorhinolaryngologic field was carried out and the following result was obtained. 1. Daily 1 to 5 gram of CFS was administered in divided dose to 9 cases of chronic purulent middle ear infection and postoperative wound infection. Clinical effectiveness was excellent, good and fair in 1, 2 and 5 cases, respectively. 2. No side effect as well as abnormal change of laboratory finding was observed. As for ototoxicity to be the most concerned matter of physicians, CFS seems to have no special problem. Thus, CFS is considered to be the useful drug for the treatment of chronic purulent middle ear infection and postoperative wound infection caused by P. aeruginosa in the field of otorhinolaryngology, and synergistic clinical effect will be expected by the combination therapy with other antibiotics or local administration of CFS.
