Abstract
Cefpirome is an investigational third-generation cephalosporin, which appears promising for the treatment of various pediatric infections. A high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed to measure cefpirome in small volumes of plasma for conducting pharmacokinetics studies in infants and children. the assay involved precipitation of plasma proteins with acetonitrile, using cefaclor as an internal standard. Chromatographic separation was accomplished using a reverse-phase
