    Cefclidin (CFCL), a new injectable cephem antibiotic, was used in the treatment of bacterial prostatitis. Concentration in prostatic fluid (PF): One hour after the i.v. administration of 1 g of CFCL the concentration of PF was 0.84 +/- 0.72 micrograms/ml (n = 4), the ratio of PF/serum being 2.24%. CFCL was administered at a dose of 1-2 g a day for 6.5 days on average. In acute bacterial prostatitis, the efficacy was evaluated as excellent or moderate in all 7 cases (100%), but in chronic cases, the effectiveness rate was as low as one out of 4 cases (25%). In safety profile, transient skin eruption was seen in one patient, but did not require further treatment. Besides this case, no side reactions or abnormal clinical values were encountered. In conclusion, CFCL was evaluated to be very useful in the treatment of acute bacterial prostatitis, caused by gram negative rods.
