RESUMO
Results obtained with sisomycin in 10 cases of purulent meningitis and 4 of bronchopulmonitis showed good tissue diffusion, together with CSF concentrations sufficient to inhibit the main aetiological agents in these forms: MIC 0.02 mg/ml for both D. pneumoniae (I-ATCC 6301) and N. meningitidis (C-ATCC 13101), i.e. liquor transfer of the antibiotic more than sufficient to handle these agents.

Following a short review of the viruses underlying viral hepatitis and those which, as a secondary factory in the clinical picture, may cause fleeting liver damge, the subdivision of chronic hepatitis conditions on histopathological bases is described. Particular attention is paid to pathogenesis, with a study of the elimination of B virus, correlated to particular histopathological types. A series of 27 PCH and 49 ACH cases is reported. Of special significance was the observation of 14 ACH out of 17 biopsied drug addicts. The therapeutic problem of chronic hepatitis is then tackled.

A combined kinetic and clinical study showed that rifampicin displays good tissue diffusibility, though it may have a tendency to accumulate. A liquor transfer sufficient for the bacteria most commonly responsible for meningeal inflammation was observed; 15/18 cases of purulent bacterial meningitis treated were clinically cured without sequelae, while 1 displayed considerable improvement. Two patients died from unforseen, uncontrollable complications that were not related to administration of the drug.

Urinary enzyme excretion was studied in 56 patients treated with cephalosporins in order to evaluate their potential nephrotoxicity. Only in 4 out of 56 patients (7%) was increased NAG, gamma-GT, AlP excretion seen. A rapid return to normal values was observed just after the end of the therapy.

Kinetic and clinical evaluation of cefotiam, a new cephalosporin, is reported. It was found that the drug is rapidly distributed to the tissues. Equilibrium between tissues and plasma is reached in about an hour. Some 90-91% of the dose administered is excreted in the urine, and accumulation does not occur. A clinical cure was obtained in 27 of a series of 35 patients (77.1%). Improvement was observed in 7 cases (20%). The antibiotic proved ineffective in the remaining cases (2.8%). Tolerance was excellent and there were no side-effects worthy of note.

Microbiological, kinetic and clinical studies were conducted on a new cephamycin, cephotetan. In vitro the antibiotic was found to be very effective against all strains tested. It had a particularly strong action against Gram negative bacteria too. Kinetically speaking, an intravenous bolus produced a high plasmatic concentration with a half life of about 4 hours. Elimination via the kidneys was fastest in the first 3 hours after administration (49.82%) and the slowed down. 82.76% of the dose administered was excreted within 24 hours. This antibiotics is particularly indicated in cases of urinary, respiratory and biliary infections.
