[A trial of using timentin (ticarcillin/clavulanate) in treating abdominal surgical infection].
Efficacy of timentin was studied in the treatment of 19 patients with peritonitis of various etiology and clinical and laboratory signs of systemic inflammatory reaction characteristic of abdominal sepsis. The clinical and bacteriological effects were recorded in 84.2 and 87.5 per cent of the cases respectively. The drug was administered intravenously dropwise for 30 minutes in a dose of 3.1 g every 4 hours. The treatment course was 4-11 days. The treatment failed in 3 patients. One of them had general peritonitis of gynecological etiology. In the other no significant regression of abdominal sepsis was observed, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were isolated from the abdominal cavity, the antibiotic was changed, still incurable polyorganic insufficiency developed and the patient died. The third patient had perforation of the large intestine due to tumor. No adverse reactions to the use of timentin in any of the cases was observed.

[Clinical studies of BRL 28500 (clavulanic acid/ticarcillin) in the treatment of intraperitoneal infections and biliary tract infections].
Clinical studies have been conducted on BRL 28500 (a formulation containing 15 parts ticarcillin (TIPC) plus 1 part clavulanic acid (CVA]. BRL 28500 was administered at doses of 1.6 g or 3.2 g b.i.d., generally for 10 days by drip infusion to patients with intraperitoneal infections or biliary tract infections. Drug concentrations in the ascites were determined. A total of 76 cases was treated with BRL 28500. These cases included 49 intraperitoneal infections (suppurative peritonitis 29, postoperative peritonitis 20) and 18 biliary tract infections (cholecystitis 5, cholangitis 13). Nine cases were excluded from evaluation according to the committee's assessment. The clinical improvement as assessed by surgeons in charge increased with the duration of continued treatment and efficacies were assessed as 57.1% on day 5, 63.1% on day 7 and 77.8% on day 10 in intraperitoneal infections. Corresponding results in biliary tract infections were 38.9%, 40.0% and 42.9%, respectively. From these results, it is clear that the degree of improvement is related to the duration of treatment. The clinical usefulness as assessed by surgeons in charge of the study was 63.8% in intraperitoneal infections (suppurative peritonitis 75.0%, postoperative peritonitis 47.4%) and 58.8% in biliary tract infections (cholecystitis 100%, cholangitis 41.7%). The overall rate of usefulness was 62.5%. The clinical efficacy rates as assessed by the committee were 81.6% in intraperitoneal infections (suppurative peritonitis 93.1%, postoperative peritonitis 65.0%) and 66.7% in biliary tract infections (cholecystitis 100%, cholangitis 53.8%). In cases where causative organisms were isolated, the efficacies were 92.9% in suppurative peritonitis, 58.8% in postoperative peritonitis, 50.0% in cholangitis and overall, 69.2%. In cases from which TIPC-resistant organisms were isolated, the overall efficacy rate was 65.4% (suppurative peritonitis 88.9%, postoperative peritonitis 58.3% and cholangitis 40.0%). Regarding bacteriological effect as assessed by the committee, the eradication rate was 76.9% in intraperitoneal infections and 40.0% in biliary tract infections (71.0% overall). In cases from whom ticarcillin-resistant organisms were isolated the corresponding rates were 68.4% and 33.3% respectively, (63.6% overall). In 4 patients with peritonitis drug levels in the ascites were determined following administration of BRL 28500 by drip infusion. Good levels of both TIPC and CVA were detected 1 to Topics: Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Bacterial Infections; Cholangitis; Cholecystitis; Clavulanic Acids; Clinical Trials as Topic; Drug Combinations; Female; Humans; Infusions, Intravenous; Male; Middle Aged; Penicillins; Peritonitis; Ticarcillin | 1987 |

[Comparison of two protocols of prophylactic antibiotic therapy in childhood appendectomy].
Antibiotic administration during acute appendicitis in children continues to be debated. The purpose of this study was to compare efficacy of two prophylactic antibiotic treatment guidelines in acute appendicitis and peritonitis in children.. The infectious complication rate after appendicectomy was compared during two distinct periods (before/after study). During the first period, the guidelines for antibiotic administration were based on ticarcillin-clavulanic acid. During the second period, the guidelines were based on amoxicillin-clavulanic acid for non-perforated appendicitis or appendicitis with localized peritonitis, and clavulanic acid was reserved for general peritonitis. All children younger than 16 years of age who underwent appendicectomy during the periods studied were included. Data were retrospectively collected from surgical and anesthetics charts.. Ninety-five children during the first period and 238 during the second were included. In the children with non-perforated appendicitis, no postoperative infectious complication occurred in 74 children during the first period versus two out of 153 (1%) during the second period. In cases of perforated appendicitis, postoperative infectious complications occurred two cases (10%) during the first period versus nine (11%) during the second. There were no significant differences between the two periods.. In this population, antibiotic administration guidelines based on amoxicillin-clavulanic acid for stages I-III of appendicitis maintained a low rate of postoperative infectious complications and were not associated with a higher postoperative infectious complication rate than guidelines based on ticarcillin-clavulanic acid.

Ticarcillin/clavulanate in the treatment of severe peritonitis.
A prospective study was performed on 50 consecutive patients with secondary peritonitis. All patients received ticarcillin/clavulanate 5.2 g three times daily as initial antibiotic therapy. In 30 patients a primary perforation was found in the gastro-intestinal tract and 20 had post-operative peritonitis. In two thirds of the patients a diffuse peritonitis was found which affected the whole abdomen. Thirty-six patients underwent one or two laparotomies and 11 patients had more than three laparotomies. Subsequently, 17 patients died. The cause of death was a therapeutic failure as a result of the surgical procedure in ten patients (nine patients with persisting intestinal fistulae, one patient with bleeding), whereas in seven cases antibiotic therapy failed. Micro-organisms found in the latter patients were producers of type 1 beta-lactamase (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter sp., Citrobacter sp., Serratia marcescens) and enterococci. Ticarcillin/clavulanate is characterized by its broad antimicrobial spectrum against anaerobic and aerobic bacteria and seems, therefore, to be well suited for initial chemotherapy in patients with diffuse peritonitis.

[Clinical studies of BRL 28500 (clavulanic acid/ticarcillin) in the treatment of pelvioperitonitis and Douglas' abscess].
Clinical studies were conducted on BRL 28500 (a formulation containing 15 parts ticarcillin plus 1 part clavulanic acid). BRL 28500 was administered at doses of 1.6 g or 3.2 g b.i.d., generally for 10 days by drip infusion to patients with pelvioperitonitis or Douglas' abscess. The results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. Clinical efficacy was evaluated in 18 patients (pelvioperitonitis 14, Douglas' abscess 4), but 8 patients out of a total of 26 patients were excluded. 2. In the evaluation of clinical improvement by doctors in charge, clinical improvement rates were 44.4% on day 3, 88.2% on day 5. 3. On the basis of committee judgement, the clinical efficacy rate was 100%. 4. The bacteriological eradication rate of causative organisms was 100% in 11 patients (15 strains). Five strains out of a total of 15 strains produced beta-lactamase. 5. As a side effect, nausea was observed in 1 case. In laboratory examination, liver function abnormalities were observed in 1 case. 6. Regarding usefulness as judged by doctors in charge, the satisfactory rate was 83.3%. From the above results, it has been concluded that BRL 28500 is very useful in the treatment of pelvioperitonitis and Douglas' abscess.
