[Clinical experience with aspoxicillin in the pediatric field].

Aspoxicillin (TA-058, ASPC) was given intravenously to 20 children with the following acute bacterial infections; 11 cases of bronchopneumonia, 5 cases of urinary tract infection, 2 cases of acute bronchitis, 1 case of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome and 1 case of subcutaneous abscess. Clinical effectiveness was obtained in 14 cases out of 20 cases (70%) and bacteriological eradication in 8 cases out of 10 cases (80%). With ASPC the following side effects developed; transient diarrhea in 1 case, eruption in 1 case and slight elevation of GOT in 1 case. From the above clinical results, it is apparent that ASPC is an useful antibiotic for treating pediatric patients with various kinds of bacterial infections.
