[Hospital infection in the oncology clinic].
Bacterial flora in pathological excreta of cancer patients and sanitary analysis specimens was compared. Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli, Klebsiellas, Proteus, etc.)--34.8 staphylococci--25, enterococci--14.7 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa--7.6% were chiefly responsible for infection--induced complications in both study groups. Among the factors of infection development were severity of malignant disease, immunosuppressive effects of present-day methods of cancer treatment, inadequate sanitary-hygienic conditions, problems involved in sterilization of certain types of diagnostic and therapeutical equipment and a large-scale application of antibiotics which is conductive to selection of multiple resistant bacteria. Procedures for equipment sterilization and use of antibiotics are discussed.
