| Popis: | The efficacy of parenteral mecillinam was evaluated in 105 elderly patients with lower respiratory tract infections or urinary tract infections. Another antibiotic, usually amoxycillin, was given concurrently in cases of respiratory infection. An adequate response was note in 86% of chest infections and in all of the urinary tract infections assessed. Mecillinam proved to have a low toxicity profile and intramuscular injections were very well tolerated. |
