Abstract

We report a case of delayed cutaneous reaction to intramuscular treatment with cefonicid, a second generation cephalosporin. An isolated late skin test response was observed to cefonicid only and not to other beta-lactams. A patch test with cefonicid 1% was positive after 48 and 96 hours.

The clinical significance of suction drainage cultures.

A prospective study of 72 operations in which one or more suction drains were inserted, showed that cultures of the drains did not have any predictive value for the development of signs of infection. Protracted suction drainage could, however, increase the risk of postoperative infection.

Prophylactic effect of the open vaginal vault method in reducing febrile morbidity in abdominal hysterectomy.

In a randomized study, we evaluated the efficacy of the "open vaginal vault" method of abdominal hysterectomy, when cefonicid is administrated preoperatively, in reducing postoperative febrile morbidity. The vaginal vault was left open in 72 patients and closed in 65 patients in control groups. No significant difference in postoperative febrile morbidity was noticed in the two groups.

Cefonicid versus cefuroxime: an in vitro study of 1,000 Enterobacteriaceae.

Cefuroxime and cefonicid, two common representatives of the second-generation cephalosporins, were compared for their spectrum of activity against 1,000 isolates of gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae. Cefuroxime had an overall advantage of 6.3% over cefonicid. Upon investigation, we found that this was mainly due to Escherichia coli: 11.2% of the E. coli strains proved resistant to cefonicid whilst only 0.4% were cefuroxime resistant.
