A case of a cervical lymph node abscess in a child is reported from which a pure culture of C. ochracea was isolated. This is the first reported case of such an infection due to this organism. The patient, who was not leukopenic and did not receive antibiotics, was cured following excision.
The concentrations of clarithromycin after a single oral dose of 500 mg were determined in serum and saliva of ten healthy adult volunteers. After 2 h, the levels were 4.04 +/- 1.14 (SD) mg/l in serum and 2.72 +/- 0.87 mg/l in saliva. After 7 h these values were 1.98 +/- 0.65 and 1.21 +/- 0.34 mg/l, respectively, and at the end of the dosing interval of 12 h, 0.95 +/- 0.38 and 0.73 +/- 0.35 mg/l, respectively. In comparison, amoxicillin (a 750-mg single dose) showed a much faster decline of serum levels and was virtually undetectable in saliva.
