title: [Estimation of the proper use of drugs in the treatment of inpatients with acute intestinal infections].
abstract: A study was performed to reveal whether the pharmacotherapy of patients with acute intestinal infections in hospitals of 24 territories of the CIS was proper. The results showed that the use of antibacterial chemotherapeutics was everywhere excessive and the physicians thus tried to guarantee the success. The calculations revealed that the cost of the antibacterial drugs (in the prices of 1991) used improperly amounted to 1.26 rubles per an adult patient and 1.68 rubles per a child patient with reference to 1 average case. The negative aspects of such a pharmacotherapy of acute intestinal infections were the improper use in some regions of infusion dehydrating and antihistamine agents and polypragmasia. A highly variable use of bacteriophages, bacterial biological preparations, enzymes, immunostimulants and other drugs in the treatment of analogous infections in various hospitals was revealed.
