Popis: The purpose of this study was to determine the cefepime concentrations in serum, bile and gall bladder tissue after administration of a single dose in patients with extrahepatic biliary diseases for pre-operative antimicrobial prophylaxis. During a 3-year period (1999-2002), 30 patients aged above 18 years with extrahepatic biliary diseases (acute and chronic cholecystitis and symptomatic cholelithiasis) were included in the study. Cefepime concentrations were determined by the agar microbiological diffusion method. A significant correlation between serum and gall bladder tissue concentrations of cefepime with the sampling interval was observed (r2 = 0.771, P
