Ceftriaxone sodium contraindication

Statistical Methods: The primary efficacy variable was the clinical response to treatment measured by reduction of pretreatment signs and symptoms defined as cured, improved, or failed ; and improvement of infiltrate on radiography. The secondary efficacy parameter was the microbiologic response to treatment defined as the eradication rate ; . Efficacy parameters were summarized by severity. The safety variables included incidence, severity, and type of adverse events during the study and changes in physical findings and laboratory measurements from pretherapy to posttherapy. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals about the difference in success rates cured and improved ; between levofloxacin and the comparative therapy groups will be used to evaluate clinical equivalence. SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS EFFICACY RESULTS: Among all clinically evaluable subjects in the levofloxacin treatment group, 72.1% were cured, 24.3% were improved, and 3.5% failed at the posttherapy visit, compared with 69.1%, 21.3% and 9.6%, respectively in the ceftriaxone cefuroxime treatment group. Clinical response rates were 72.3% cured, 24.4% improved, and 3.3% failed for the subset of 213 clinically evaluable subjects who received levofloxacin at q24h or q48h intervals. The data indicate that levofloxacin treatment was comparable in efficacy among subjects with severe infections and those with mild moderate infections. When the clinical response categories "cured" and "improved" were combined into a single category of "clinical success" for clinically evaluable subjects, levofloxacin treatment resulted in 96.5% clinical success and ceftriaxone cefuroxime treatment resulted in 90.4% clinical success, with a 95% confidence interval of [-10.7, -1.3] for the difference ceftriaxone cefuroxime minus levofloxacin ; in success rates. The confidence interval, the upper limit of which lies below the upper bound of 10%, establishes that levofloxacin treatment is at least equivalent to ceftriaxone cefuroxime in terms of achieving clinical success. Clinical response rates were generally comparable across efficacy analysis groups and study centers. Of the 205 clinically evaluable subjects in the levofloxacin treatment group who had a poststudy clinical evaluation and had a posttherapy clinical response of cured or improved, poststudy clinical responses were cure for 90.2%, improved for 5.9%, and relapse for 2.9% of subjects. Of the 193 subjects in the ceftriaxone cefuroxime group who met the aforementioned criteria, 92.2% had a poststudy response of cure, 5.7% improved, and 2.1% relapse. Poststudy clinical response ratings for the microbiologically evaluable and intent-to-treat subjects were consistent with the results of the clinically evaluable group. Microbiologic Results: Among subjects evaluable for microbiologic efficacy, the overall microbiologic eradication rates by subject in the levofloxacin and ceftriaxone cefuroxime treatment groups were 98.4% and 87.5%, respectively, with a 95% confidence interval of [-17.1, -4.7], for the difference between treatments ceftriaxone cefuroxime minus levofloxacin ; . This confidence interval establishes that levofloxacin is at least equivalent to ceftriaxone cefuroxime in terms of achieving microbiologic eradication. The microbiologic eradication rate was 100% for the most prevalent pathogens detected in respiratory secretion cultures for all microbiologically evaluable subjects in the levofloxacin group, with the exception of H. parainfluenzae, which had an eradication rate of 87.5%. In the ceftriaxone cefuroxime group, eradication rates for these pathogens ranged from 71.4% to 100%. Both levofloxacin and ceftriaxone cefuroxime eradicated 100% of S. pneumoniae detected in blood culture. Levofloxacin eradicated 97.9% to 100% of atypical pathogens detected by serology, as compared with eradication rates of 75.0% to 100% among ceftriaxone cefuroxime-treated subjects. The posttherapy microbiologic eradication rates for C. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, S. pneumoniae detected in respiratory specimens ; , M. pneumoniae, and H. parainfluenzae, the most prevalent pathogens, were 97.9%, 100.

Intravenously three times a day, ceftriaxone 1 gm intravenously daily, morphine sulfate 1 to 2 mg intravenously as needed, trimethobenzamide hydrochloride Tigan ; 20 mg intramuscular every 6 hours as needed for nausea and vomiting, and acetaminophen 650 mg orally every 6 hours as needed. He received an intravenous infusion of normal saline with potassium chloride 20 mmol L at a rate of 100 mL per hour. Serum chemistries showed a sodium concentration of 129 mmol L, potassium 4.7 mmol L, chloride 100 mmol L, bicarbonate 21 mmol L, BUN 5 mmol L, and creatinine 61.9 mol L. The acute asymptomatic hyponatremia was thought to be secondary to the osmotically active mannitol that was administered. Intravenous infusion of 3% saline was started at 30 mL per hour in addition to normal saline with potassium chloride 20 mmol L at 100 mL per hour. Over the next 24 hours, his urine output was 4300 mL with a specific gravity of 1.010 to 1.015. On postoperative day 2, his serum sodium was 130 to 133 mmol L. Until a renal consult was obtained, he continued to receive normal saline with 20 mmol L potassium chloride, from 50 to 100 mL per hour, whenever his serum sodium was above 130 mmol L or 3% saline from 30 to 40 per hour continuously over 24 hour periods whenever the serum sodium was below 130 mmol L. Oral fluid restriction to less than 800 mL per day was instituted. The patient was thought to be euvolemic. His hospital course was highlighted by pseudomonas meningitis on postoperative day 11, which was treated with antibiotics; a left lower extremity deep venous thrombosis diagnosed on postoperative day 22 was initially treated with heparin and later warfarin; and a focal seizure on postoperative day 23, secondary to a subacute left parietal infarct.

Leading articles with invasive infections have been reported only sporadically in this country Smith et al., 1986 ; , they are now encountered several times each year in some UK centres Powell & Price, 1990 ; . Moreover, outbreaks of pulmonary infections due to chloramphenicol-resistant non-capsulated strains have been described in the UK Scott et al., 1990 ; . Production of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase is always accompanied by resistance to tetracycline and is associated with production of Mactamase in about one-third of isolates Powell et al., 1987 ; . Nevertheless, resistance to one of tetracycline, trimethoprim or sulphamethoxazole occurs in less than 5% of all UK isolates Powell et al., 1987; Howard & Williams, 1989 ; . However, doubts have been raised about the efficacy of doxycycline and minocycline in eradicating H. influenzae from the respiratory tract Maesen, Davies & van den Bergh, 1989 ; and the prevalence of resistance to trimethoprim trebled between 1981 and 1986, so raising concern over its future usefulness. High-level resistance to erythromycin MIC 8 mg 1 ; has been found in 17% of H. influenzae from England and Scotland in 1990, while only 16% were inhibited by 0-5 mg 1 personal data, unpublished ; . Hence, most isolates fall into a category of intermediate susceptibility and erythromycin should probably be regarded as only marginally active against H. influenzae. Fortunately, many of the more recently available antimicrobial agents and several of those under development are very active against the species. A number of these are unaffected by the mechanisms that mediate resistance to the agents already discussed. They can be considered according to their proven or likely efficacy in treatment of invasive and non-invasive infections. Owing to their varied spectra of activity, some are suitable for 'blind' cover but others should only be used when the infection is known to be due to H. influenzae. The most commonly used alternatives to ampicillin and chloramphenicol for treatment of multi-resistant type b organisms producing invasive disease are the injectable cephalosporins. Although there is still controversy about whether these agents are more or less effective than either ampicillin or chloramphenicol or both ; when the organism is fully susceptible Shackelford et al., 1972; Grubbauer et al., 1988; Peltola et al., 1989 ; , the USA Committee on Infectious Diseases Plotkin et al., 1988 ; recommended cefuroxime, cefotaxime and ceftriaxone as equally acceptable alternatives to ampicillin plus chloramphenicol for initial therapy of meningitis. However, some argument has recently arisen about the efficacy of cefuroxime in achieving early sterilisation of CSF and the association of delayed sterilisation with neurological sequelae of infection Lebel & McCracken, 1989; Bass, Person & Fonseca, 1990 ; . On the basis of comparison of drug concentrations attainable in CSF, Cherubin et al. 1989 ; suggested that the choice of agent for meningitis should depend on consideration of potency against the species to be treated. In particular, cefotaxime and ceftriaxone are supported by considerable clinical experience and favourable pharmacokinetic data. Cefotaxime is among the most active of the injectable cephalosporins available in the UK. Drug concentrations achieved in the blood, CSF and tissues are such that therapeutic failures are unlikely even when an invasive infection due to a type b organism with non Mactamase mediated reduced susceptibility to 7-lactam agents is being treated Cherubin et al., 1989; Powell et al., 1989 ; . 1 Other injectable Mactamase-stable ?-lactams merit consideration in treatment of invasive infections. Aztreonam is very active modal MIC 0-06 mg 1 ; against H. influenzae Powell & Williams, 1987a ; . Pharmacokinetic and clinical data suggest that it is likely to be of use in most invasive infections whatever the resistance mechanism s ; possessed by the organism. Although the considerable variation in penetration of the drug into the CSF has raised doubts about its reliability in treating meningitis Duma et al., 1984 ; , it has been used successfully Asensi, Otero & Perez-Tamarit, 1990 ; . Latamoxef is similarly active Baker, Thornsberry & Jones, 1980 ; and has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of meningitis Kaplan et al., 1988 ; but has not been widely used for H. influenzae infections in the UK. Amoxycillin-clavulanate may be unsuitable for treatment of meningitis since Decazes et al. 1987 ; reported poor penetration of clavulanate into CSF and failed to detect bactericidal activity in CSF from treated patients against enzyme-producing organisms. It is not yet clear whether other combinations of amoxycillin, or other i-lactams, with alternative enzyme inhibitors will be effective in meningitis, although both these and amoxycillin-clavulanate may be useful in other invasive infections. Of the carbapenems, imipenem is less active than meropenem with modal MICs at 0-5 and 0-03 mg 1 respectively Powell et al., 1989 ; . The and cerivastatin.

Patients receiving EGFR inhibitors [21]. Sometimes involvement of the mucosae can be seen with vaginal dryness [27] or aphtous ulcers of the oral or nasal mucosa [20, 25].
The authors recommended doxycycline or cefotaxime or ceftriaxone ; for the treatment of severely ill patients for whom the diagnosis would be in doubt in areas endemic for leptospirosis and rickettsial infection and chamomile. TABLE 2. Definitions of Onset of Action, Magnitude of Effect, and Relative Strength of Evidence for Immunosuppressant Drug Interactions6 and ceftriaxone. Ceftobiprole, a broad-spectrum pyrrolidinone-3-ylidenemethyl cephem currently in phase III clinical trials, had MICs between 0.008 g ml and 8.0 g ml for 321 clinical isolates of Haemophilus influenzae and between 0.004 g ml and 1.0 g ml for 49 clinical isolates of Moraxella catarrhalis. Ceftobiprole MIC50 and MIC90 values for H. influenzae were 0.06 g ml and 0.25 g ml for -lactamase-positive strains n 262 ; , 0.03 g ml and 0.25 g ml for -lactamase-negative strains n 40 ; , and 0.5 g ml and 2.0 g ml for -lactamasenegative ampicillin-resistant strains n 19 ; , respectively. Ceftobiprole MIC50 and MIC90 values for -lactamase-positive M. catarrhalis strains n 40 ; were 0.12 g ml and 0.5 g ml, respectively, whereas the ceftobiprole MIC range for -lactamase-negative M. catarrhalis strains n 9 ; was 0.004 to 0.03 g ml. Ceftriaxone MICs usually were generally at least twofold lower than those of ceftobiprole, whereas amoxicillinclavulanate MICs usually were higher than those of ceftobiprole. Azithromycin and telithromycin had unimodal MIC distributions against H. influenzae, with MIC90 values of azithromycin and telithromycin of 2 g and 4 g ml, respectively. Except for selected quinolone-nonsusceptible H. influenzae strains, moxifloxacin proved highly active, with MIC90 values of 0.12 g ml. Time-kill analyses showed that ceftobiprole, ceftriaxone, cefpodoxime, amoxicillin-clavulanate, azithromycin, telithromycin, and moxifloxacin were bactericidal at 2 MIC by 24 h against all 10 H. influenzae strains surveyed. Only modest increases in MICs were found for H. influenzae or M. catarrhalis clones after 50 serial passages in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of ceftobiprole, and single-passage selection showed that the selection frequency of H. influenzae or M. catarrhalis clones with elevated ceftobiprole MICs is quite low. Haemophilus influenzae, a bacterium with demanding nutritional requirements, is a major cause together with Streptococcus pneumoniae and Moraxella catarrhalis ; of communityacquired respiratory infections such as sinusitis, otitis media, pneumonia, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 11, 23, 26 ; . In countries such as the United States, where the H. influenzae type b vaccine is widely used, H. influenzae type b strains have been replaced by untypeable H. influenzae strains. Synthesis of -lactamases TEM-1 and rarely ROB-1 ; is the principal antibiotic resistance trait expressed in H. influenzae 9, 17, 24, lack of susceptibility to -lactams due to alternative mechanisms is rare in most parts of the world 20 ; . A study performed during 1997 reported the incidence of -lactamase production among 1, 676 untypeable H. influenzae strains isolated throughout the United States to be 41.6% 17 ; . While the incidence of -lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant BLNAR ; strains in the United States is 1% 17, 25 ; , the incidence of BLNAR strains in Japan and in some parts of France 9, 24 ; approaches 30%. Almost all clinical strains of H. influenzae are fluoroquinolone susceptible 17 ; , but nonsusceptibility towards this antibiotic class has been described previously 12 ; , with one fatality recorded for a patient whose infecting H. influenzae strain had not been tested initially for quinolone susceptibility 2 ; .
