title: [The use of teicoplanin for Gram-positive infections in patients with kidney transplantation].
abstract: Teicoplanin was used for the treatment of multiresistant Gram-positive-Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase negative Staphylococcus and Enterococcus-infections in 15 cases of kidney transplantations. The motive of the application was the once per day dosage and the spare of the transplanted kidney. Nosocomial infections were the most common. Clinical and microbiological diagnosis was the criteria in order to begin the 5-21 days treatment. These patients which were infected with Gram positive bacteria, teicoplanin was also effective in methicillin-resistant cases. In some mixed infections, after several courses of antibiotics, teicoplanin even if combined with other antibiotics could not prevent fatal sepsis.
