[Clinical evaluation of piperacillin in the field of obstetrics and gynecology]

Piperacillin (PIPC) was administered to 4 cases with obstetrical and gynecological infections and the following results were obtained. 1. PIPC was administered by intravenous drip infusion with 4 g per day for 7--14 days. The clinical efficacy was excellent in 2 cases with postoperative parametritis and good in 2 other cases, 1 with infectious ovarian cystoma and 1 with intrauterine infection. In the latter 2 cases surgical treatment was combined. 2. In laboratory findings GOT and GPT were slightly elevated in 2 cases. The relation between the drug and the abnormality was unclear because these rises may be considered due to the anesthesia or the operation itself.
