Bacterial infection is one of the most common and important problem in the ENT fields. Antibiotics are often necessary for the treatment and prevention of bacte-rial infections. Cefpodoxime is a new kind of the 3rd generation cephalosporin. In our trial, the efficacy of cefpodoxime was monitored for its bactericidal effect and clinical improvement. The results showed 84% bacteriological and 80% clinical improvement. No biochemical or hematology-ical deturbance was found in our patients. Regarding efficacy, convenience and safety, we suggest that cefpodoxime is a new choice for the treatment of bacterial infec-tions in the ENT fields.
