Abstract

Serum concentration-time curves were determined in seventeen 82 (60-90) year-old patients undergoing trochanteric hip fracture surgery after receiving 1 g of cefadroxil per os. All the patients attained a serum level of antibiotic high enough to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis. When orally administered, cefadroxil should be given within 2 hours before surgery. Serum concentrations studied in 17 patients
