Thirty-four patients aged 1 month to 19 years were treated with ceftriaxone for suspected bacterial infections. Bacterial pathogens were isolated from 25 children. The overall bacterial cure rate was 88%, with an overall clinical response rate of 96%. No side effects requiring cessation of therapy were observed. Ceftriaxone proved to be safe and effective in the treatment of serious infections in children.
