A higher risk of treatment failure for antibiotic therapy was found for patients presenting to the ED with symptoms of cIAIs lasting 24 h. Alternative antimicrobial agents should be considered for treating these patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Wound Infection

  Of the evaluable patients, 14% in each group developed a postoperative wound infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Intravenous Administration Reconstitution Vials: Reconstitute 1.5 g (1 g ampicillin and 0.5 g sulbactam) vial with 3.2 mL or 3 g (2 g ampicillin and 1 g sulbactam) vial with 6.4 mL of Sterile Water for Injection to give a solution containing 375 mg/mL [pdr.net]

• Pathologist

  The results from a College of American Pathologists survey with one E. coli isolate tested at different institutions also indicated greater susceptibility to AUG than to A/S. These agents are thought to be equally efficacious clinically. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Aspiration

  BACKGROUND: Aspiration pneumonia (AP) and primary lung abscess (PLA), are diseases following aspiration of infectious material from the oropharynx or stomach. An antibiotic therapy, also covering anaerobic pathogens, is the treatment of choice. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hepatomegaly

  Abdominal ultrasound showed echo-free cavities throughout the hepatic parenchyma; abdominal computed-tomography (CT) scan showed hepatomegaly and multiple radiolucent spaces. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Photophobia

  A 52-year-old man was admitted to a local hospital with headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, photophobia, and confusion after a sudden fall. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Suggestibility

  These results suggest that intramuscular clindamycin is an excellent choice and can be safely prescribed on an outpatient basis following needle aspiration, thereby reducing both antibiotic and hospital costs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Meningism

  The infections were primary bloodstream (32.5%), pneumonia (30%), urinary tract (15%), peritonitis (7.5%), surgical site (7.5%), meningitis (5%) and sinusitis (2.5%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  SULTAGARD Tablets can be used in the treatment of the following conditions: Urinary Tract infections Respiratory tract infections Otitis media Skin and Soft Tissue infections Meningitis Uncomplicated gonorrhea. [neisslabs.com]

An antibiotic therapy, also covering anaerobic pathogens, is the treatment of choice. In this study we compared moxifloxacin (MXF) and ampicillin/sulbactam (AMP/SUL) concerning efficacy and safety in the treatment of AP and PLA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
