Comparison of cefoxitin and clindamycin-gentamicin for pelvic infections
1986
: Cefoxitin and clindamycin-gentamicin were compared in a randomized study of antibiotic therapy for infections of the pelvis in 91 women. Clinical diagnoses included pelvic inflammatory disease (53), endomyometritis after cesarean section (24), and cellulitis following gynecological surgery (14). Treatment failures occurred in four (10%) of the 41 patients treated with cefoxitin compared with eight (16%) of the 50 patients treated with the clindamycin-gentamicin combination. Single-drug therapy with cefoxitin was shown to be as effective as the combination of clindamycin and gentamicin.
