Cefamandole, a new cephalosporin derivative, has been used in treatment of six patients who had diminished renal function and respiratory infections, and of 14 patients with urinary tract infections (UTI). Infection was eliminated in all patients with respiratory infections, and in seven of the patients with UTI. No serious side effects were encountered and, even in patients with pre‐existing renal dysfunction, no reduction in renal function occurred.
