title: [Bacteremia in therapeutic endoscopy].
abstract: In a prospective study of 70 patients undergoing therapeutic endoscopy, the incidence of bacteremia was established. It was observed in 20 after bougienage, 30% after the placement of an endoprosthesis, 15% after endoscopic sphincterotomy, and 25% after percutaneous biliary drainage. Although clinical symptoms were observed in only a few of these patients, perioperative antibiotic therapy is recommended in elderly patients with malignant diseases, diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency or liver disorders.
