title: A comparison of clindamycin-gentamicin and penicillin-gentamicin in the treatment of post-cesarean section endomyometritis.
abstract: A random comparison of clindamycin-gentamicin (C-G) and penicillin-gentamicin was made in 200 women who developed endomyometritis following cesarean section. All pretreatment profiles indicated similar populations. The clinical response was more favorable in the women receiving clindamycin-gentamicin. The implications of these results upon clinical practice is discussed.
