[Clinical experience of cefoxitin in the field of obstetrics and gynecology (author's transl)].
    The Japanese journal of antibiotics, 1979, Volume: 32, Issue:12

    Cefoxitin was given to the 7 patients of infections in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, and the following results were obtained: 1) The clinical response was excellent in 2 patients, good in 4 and poor in 1 patient with the efficacy rate of 85.7%. Out of the 4 patients resistant to the previous therapy with other antibiotics, 3 patients responded to cefoxitin, and all the 3 patients of anaerobic infections responded satisfactorily to cefoxitin. 2) Microorganisms isolated were 2 strains each of E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, 3 strains of Peptococcus and 1 strain of Eubacterium lentum. All the 8 strains isolated were sensitive to cefoxitin. As to bacteriological response, all the strains isolated were eradicated except 1 strain of Staphylococcus aureus which recurred on the 9th day after completion of the therapy with the eradication rate of 87.5%. 3) No subjective nor objective side effects were noted. Especially, the elevated GOT and GPT observed on a patient complicated with hepatitis prior to the initiation of cefoxitin treatment were found to be normal upon completion of the treatment.
