- Antibiotic treatment is crucial for managing severe acute pancreatitis, and the study focuses on how well cefepime penetrates pancreatic tissue in two acute pancreatitis models.
- After inducing pancreatitis in animals and administering cefepime, the concentration of the drug in pancreatic tissue was significantly higher in both mild and severe cases compared to control animals.
- The study concludes that cefepime maintains effective levels in pancreatic tissue over time and significantly reduces infection rates, suggesting its potential for treating severe acute pancreatitis in patients.
