title: [Antibiotic prevention using cephalothin].
abstract: A single intravenous dose of Cephalotine, given at the start of operations, significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative wound infections. The concentration of Cephalotine was maintained throughout operation. The occurrence of other infections was also reduced. The results of this study imply that operations on patients with higher infectious risk should be accompanied by antibiotic prophylaxis.
