abstract: Infectious complications have remained the most frequent cause of morbidity in surgical patients, and that despite the constantly broadening range of up-to-date antimicrobial drugs administered prophylactically and therapeutically, the improved methods of cultivating microorganisms and of establishing sensitivity to antibiotics. Infections in surgical patients lead to prolonged hospitalization, prolonged working disability, and to increased cost of treatment. Considerable economic consequences of infections in surgical patients are demonstrated on the basis of the authors' clinical material and possibilities of preventing infections and of their treatment are also discussed.
