Abstract

Ceftriaxone, a broad-spectrum third-generation cephalosporin with a long half-life, was administered intramuscularly to 23 outpatients who had a variety of infectious diseases. Cure was achieved in 21 of the patients (91%). The results of this study indicate that ceftriaxone is an effective and well-tolerated antimicrobial agent when administered intramuscularly to outpatients with various infections.
