Abstract
A total of 30 cases of gynecological infection were treated with Cefoperazone at the Department of Ob-Gy, Seoul Baik Hospital, Seoul, Korea from Sept. 1979 to Aug. 1980. Cefoperazone sodium was administered in a dose of 2g/day intramusculary or intravenously for 6 to 13 days. The effective rates of Cefoperazone based on clinical and bacteriological response were 100% in 9 cases of acute non-gonorrheal PID, 5 cases of postpartum endometritis, 2 cases of recurrent non-gonorrheal PID and 80% in acute gonorrheal PID(8 out of 10 cases). A case of recurrent gonorrheal PID and 2 out of 3 cases of postoperative infection responded also satisfactorily to Cefoperazone treatment. There were no drug-related abnormal findings in urinalysis, hematology and blood chemistry. Any particular side effects, except for one case of fever and rash which disappeared spontaneously without any treatment or discontinuation of the drug, were not noted during or after the treatment.
