[Appendicular peritonitis: comparative study of antibiotic therapy and a topical bactericidal agent]

Fifty four patients operated on for appendicular peritonitis where randomly divided. In the first group intravenous Dalacin C and Spectacilline were given during five days postoperatively; in the second, Taurolin, a bactericid, was administered by intraperitoneal route. There was a statistical difference in either treatment, neither on intraperitoneal nor parietal septic complications. The use and way of prophylactic antibiotic administration are discussed.
