Abstrakt: Post-caesarean wound infections are difficult to manage, especially when they are caused by multiple antibiotic- resistant Staphylococcus aureus. An attempt was made to treat post-caesarean staphylococcal wound infections with topical application of citric acid. Twenty post-caesarean patients with wound infections caused by multiple antibiotic- resistant S. aureus were treated by application of 3% citric acid once daily. Wound dressing with citric acid ointment in 18 cases resulted in complete healing after 6 to 21 applications. Topical application of citric acid was found highly effective in the treatment of post-caesarean wound infections due to multiple antibiotic-resistant S. aureus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
