Abstract

Clinical effectiveness of cefoperazone (CPZ) was studied for 46 elderly patients with respiratory infections.
1. Clinical efficacy rate of CPZ was 80.6% (29/36).
2. Adverse reactions occurred in 2 patients as systemic rush and fever. Laboratoryabnormalities were observed in 5 patients. These included elevation of transaminase value.
3. The serum concentration of CPZ at 12 hours after administration of 2 g CPZ was not reflected in creatinine clearance and total bilirubin, and those 2 values appearedto have little effects on CPZ excretion.
4. The administration of CPZ at 4g/day for less than 3 weeks had no effects on therenal function.
As a result of this study, CPZ was found to have little undesirable effect on renal functions and to be a useful drug for the treatment of respiratory infections in elderly patients.
