PISONERO SOCIAS, Juan José; VERDECIA ZULOAGA, Adriana; GONI CAMEJO, Mariela  e  TRIAY, Martha. Uso del cefadroxilo oral en las neumopatías inflamatorias adquiridas en la comunidad. Rev Cubana cir [online]. 1999, vol.38, n.3, pp. 161-165. ISSN 1561-2945.

A study on the use of cefadroxil (1st generation oral cephalosporins) was conducted among 100 patients with diagnosis of extrahospital lower respiratory sepsis. A dosage schedule of 500 mg every 12 hours during 7 or 10 days was used. 49 (81 %) of the 60 patients that were administered 1 g during 7 days healed, whereas 28 (77 %) of those who received 1 g for 10 days cured, too. 2(50 %) of the other 4 that were given doses of 2 g for 10 days recovered from the disease. A comparative analysis of the costs generated by the use of crystalline penicillin, ceftriaxone, cefazolin and aminoglycosides to treat the same affection was made, and a reduction of hospital cost and antibiotic consumption was attained
