Description

Concentrations of cefuroxime (CXM) in the skin and the serum of 24 patients were examined. CXM (0.75g, 1.5g) was administered to these patients intravenously in one shot.<BR>The skin and the serum were collected at 30 and 60 minutes after the injection. Concentrations of CXM in the skin were following:<BR>0.75g, 30min.; 11.4±5.3μg/g<BR>60min.; 9.5± 4.7μμg/g<BR>1.5g, 30min.; 17.1±6.8μg/g<BR>60min.; 15.7±13.2μg/g<BR>Concentration ratios (skin/serum) at 60 minutes after the injection were from 72.5% to 79.2%. The binding ratio of CXM to serum protein was 41%, which was lower than most other antibiotics.<BR>High concentration levels of CXM were maintained in the skin for a long time. Based on this study, we consider that CXM is effective in the skin surgery.
