Abstract: | The perioperative application of antibiotics in prophylaxis of infections is disputed. In a preliminary prospective study the infections morbidity of 44 patients after caesarean section was determined to investigate the effect of short term prophylaxis with halospor and gentamycine. A control group of 104 patients remained without any antibiotic prophylaxis. The patients of the prophylaxis group showed a statistically significant reduction of postoperative infectious morbidity. The costs are equalized by reduction in therapeutic applications of antibiotics. |
