The purpose of the survey is to study the followings under practical use, regarding the safety and effectiveness in high-dose administration (exceeding 6 g per day) of UNASYN-S and UNASYN-S KIT for intravenous use (UNASYN). 1. Adverse Drug Reaction(s) that cannot be expected from precautions (Unexpected Adverse Drug Reaction) 2. Incidence status of adverse drug reactions 3. Factors that may affect the safety and effectiveness
Implemented as a Special Investigation by a central registration system. Secondary data collection. Safety and effectiveness of UNASYN-S under Japanese medical practice.

Intravenous use; The usual adult dosage is 6 g of sulbactam sodium and ampicillin sodium (potency) per day given in two divided doses via intravenous injection or drip infusion. In the case of severe infection, the dosage may be increased if appropriate. Maximum dosage should not exceed 3 g (potency) 4 times daily (daily dose of 12 g (potency)). Kit for intravenous use; The usual adult dosage is 6 g of sulbactam sodium and ampicillin sodium (potency) per day given in two divided doses via intravenous injection after dissolved in an accompanying reconstitution diluent. In the case of severe infection, the dosage may be increased if appropriate. Maximum dosage should not exceed 3 g (potency) 4 times daily (daily dose of 12 g (potency)).
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events
A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium in a participant who received sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium. Relatedness to sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium was assessed by the investigator.
Time frame: 14 Days
Clinical Effectiveness Rate by Indication
Clinical effectiveness rate, which was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved clinical effectiveness over the total number of participants with assessable effectiveness evaluation, was presented by each indication (pneumonia, lung abcess and peritorinitis) along with the corresponding exact 2-sided 95% confidence interval. Overall effectiveness of sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium was determined by the investigator based on clinical symptoms and examinations at the end of high-dose (\>6 g daily) treatment. Clinical effectiveness was assessed according to the following categories: (1) effective, (2) ineffective, or (3) unassessable at the end of treatment.
Time frame: 14 Days
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Serious Adverse Events
A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium in a participant who received sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium. A treatment-related serious adverse event was a treatment-related adverse event resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; lifethreatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Relatedness to sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium was assessed by the investigator.
Time frame: 14 Days
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events Unexpected From Japanese Package Insert
A treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium in a participant who received sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium. Expectedness of the adverse event was determined according to Japanese package insert. Relatedness to sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium was assessed by the investigator.
