cefuroxime and Haemophilus influenzae Meningitis Type B

cefuroxime has been researched along with Haemophilus influenzae Meningitis Type B in 23 studies

Cefuroxime: Broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic resistant to beta-lactamase. It has been proposed for infections with gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, GONORRHEA, and HAEMOPHILUS.
