Ceftizoxime (CZX) was given in daily doses of 4 approximately 6 g by intravenous drip infusion to 30 patients with infection accompanying lung cancer to investigate the usefulness of the drug for infectious disease: The rate of effectiveness (marked and moderate) was 73.3% (22/30 patients). Of the 30 patients, 2 had drug fever; 1, arthralgia; and 1, eosinophilia. These side effects improved after the drug was withdrawn. CZX is a very useful antibiotic with high effectiveness and safety in immunocompromised patients with infection accompanying advanced lung cancer. |
