[Experience in the prophylactic use of ceftriaxone in pediatric surgery].
Authors report on their experience about ceftriaxone in surgical prophylaxis in childhood. 30 patients have been treated, suffering from surgical diseases, either thoracic or abdominal ones, including malignancies. Ceftriaxone was administered once a day; patients received ceftriaxone only once preoperatively: Results have been very satisfactory, the only two complications having been found in two severely immunocompromised patients.
