Abstract
Fourty two cases with catarharic Eustachitis, allergic rhinitis or both catarharic rhinitis and para-nasal sinusitis combined were treated by Cephalantin, administered orally 6mgm. a day for 2 to 5 weeks. Clinical effects and progress were carefully followed. It was shown that Cephalantin was quite effective on 16 cases (38%), effective on 16 (38%) and not effective on 10 (24%). Among the diseases treated, catarharic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis and catarharic Eustachitis responded favourably, particularly in acute and early phase. For the chronic cases, it was necessary to administer for longer period but complete cure appeared to be remote.
However, no side effect was recognized by the use of Cephalantin.
