TO THE QUESTION OF EMPIRIC ANTIBIOTIC THERAP OF TROPHIC LESIONS IN VARIOUS VASCULAR DISEASES

Abstract

The results of 126 bacteriological investigations performed at the Department of vascular surgery, Gomel Regional Cardiologic Dispensary in the period from 2006 to 2007 have been analysed. In all the groups of the examined patients Staphylococcus aureus was the most widespread (33,3-66,7 %) infectious agent. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was most common for the patients suffering from PAD and postphlebitic syndrome (15,4 and 19,3 %, correspondingly) and significantly less prevalent in the group with trophic lesions in varix dilatation (4,8 %). Streptococcus epidermidis was most often revealed in the patients with PAD and varix dilatation (7,7 and 10,5 % correspondingly), аnd Staphylococcus saprophyticus - in the patients with PAD (11,5 %). The carried out analysis provides the ground to consider the application of ciprofloxacin and gentamicin in the initial treatment for all the above listed diseases as the most reasonable.
