Abstract
Cefpiramide (CPM, SM-1652) was administered to 13 patients with urinary tract infection.
Eleven cases were chronic complicated urinary tract infection, and two cases were acute simple urinary tract infection.
According to the criteria of UTI for clinical evaluation, clinical effects were obtained 83.3% in excellent or good responses. As the side effect of cefpiramide, otalgia was observed in one case during administration of drip infusion and two cases showed slight elevation of laboratory findings.
From the above results, it is concluded that cefpiramide is a useful drug for the treatment of urinary tract infection.
