[Antibiotic therapy of infections in patients on dialysis].
The results obtained in treating infections in 53 patients involved in a chronic dialysis-transplantation program are reported. Higher susceptibility to infections and reduced immune functions were observed in dialyzed patients. The problem of the occurrence rate of individual infections was analyzed and infections of the respiratory system, particularly bronchopneumonia, were found to be predominant. No patient died of infection; in two patients the prescribed antibiotic of first choice had to be changed; positive clinical and laboratory effect was recorded in 51 of the 53 patients treated, and after change of the antibiotic in all the patients. Particular regimens of individual antibiotics in dialyzed patients are given along with the dialyzability of the drugs. The best results were obtained with ofloxacin and doxycycline of Czecho-Slovak make in monotherapy, in combined treatment gentamycin an amikacin with cefamezin or with cefotaxim proved to be most effective. Of the 45 pathogenic agents isolated, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp, and Acinetobacter lwoffi, which have a good sensitivity to antibiotics, had the highest occurrence rates.
