[Problems of prophylaxis and treatment of infectious complications in reconstructive surgery].
Infectious complications due to polyresistant staphylococci as well as strepto- and enterococci are of serious problem in reconstructive surgery, since the number of such strains isolated within 1999-2004 has amounted to 58.4-59.7% of all the isolates. Susceptibility testing of 195 isolates showed that 100% of them was susceptible to linezolid that was used in the postoperative treatment of 28 patients after reconstructive surgical operations including those with artificial circulation under conditions of a multiprofile surgical hospital. Linezolid proved to be a highly effective agent in the prophylaxis and treatment of infectious complications due to polyresistant grampositive pathogens. Step-by-step therapy with linezolid was shown possible. In the treatment of pediatric cases no side effects of linezolid were recorded.
