title: [Use of septopal in treatment of acute blood-borne inflammation of bones in children].
abstract: The authors are presenting 70 cases of acute blood-derived inflammation of bones in children treated in the Clinic of Children's Surgery in the Academy of Medicine in Wrocław in the last 10 years. Gentamicin balls were used for 21 children including 18 newborns and babies. In 16 cases implantation of gentamicin balls was the only way of local treatment, and in 5 cases it was preceded with short-lasting (3-7 days) flowing drain of the inflammatory focus. Implantation of gentamicin balls was renewed after 14-18 days achieving in all cases sterilization of the inflammatory focus within the bone. The applied treatment allowed to reject quickly the general antibiotic therapy. After operational course for all children was normal.
