AUREOMYCIN IN THE TREATMENT OF RUPTURED APPENDICES IN CHILDREN

[摘要] A report is given on the use of aureomycin as the sole antibiotic therapeutic agent in 16 cases of peritonitis or abscess complicating appendicitis occurring in children. In four of the cases surgery was postponed because of the child's condition. There were no deaths in this series.Aureomycin appears to be the drug of choice when combined with surgery in treating appendicitis with abscess or peritonitis or to be used alone when surgery must be postponed. A satisfactory dosage schedule for aureomycin is given.
