Clinical study on biapenem in the treatment of respiratory tract infections

Abstract

We evaluated the clinical effect of biapenem (BIPM) in 7 cases of respiratory tract infection and 1 case of subcutanesus abscess.
The drug was given intravenous drip infusion at 150mg or 300mg twice a day. Clinical response was good in 6, fair in 1, poor in 1 case. There were no side effects and abnormal laboratory findings to the treatment with BIPM.
From these results, BIPM was thought to be useful for the treatment of mild to severe respiratory infections.
