According to "http://cmr.asm.org/content/23/4/858/T1.expansion", Rocephin does not pass the blood brain barrier well unless there is strong meningitis inflammation. If you "only" have brain inflammation and not a strong meningitis, is there another beta-lactam (oral or IV) which is more suitable? Maybe Amoxicillin, Ceftin or Cefotaxime?
Thank you!
Well if you're interested in b/b barrier penetration - then you can cross Ceftin and Cefotaxime off the list..as they are also cephalosporins.
(It says in that study)
Minocycline is one of the best ones for b/b barrier penetration.
