title: [Prophylactic administration of Klion in acute appendicitis].
abstract: The authors present their experience with the prophylactic administration of metronidazole of Richter Co. Hungary (trade name Klion) in children with phlegmonous appendicitis. The preparation was administered in three doses to 51 children. The bacteriological results were evaluated in 42 children. The results of Klion administration in phlegmonous appendicitis were excellent. In the investigated group there were no wound inflammatory nor intraabdominal complications. For comparison the authors mention a group of 1008 children with phlegmonous appendicitis without prophylactic provisions where the number of inflammatory wound complications was 3.62%. Klion has minimal side-effects, was well tolerated and proved excellent for prophylactic administration.
