Popis: The article analyses the method of topical open treatment of postoperative pyothorax in 17 patients with the use of biologically active helevin-based compositions. The control group was made up of 11 patients with a similar suppurative process who received topical treatment by the same method but with the use of ointments with antibiotics and antiseptics on a fat base. With the use of biologically active compositions (BAC) on a helevin-base, the empyema cavity was completely freed from the pyonecrotic masses and its walls filled with granulation tissue on day 7 of treatment. In the control group the cavity was completely cleansed only on day 19 of treatment. It is shown that BAC possesses a high antibacterial effect not only due to the antibacterial components but because it is based on the laws of physical antiseptics.
