| Popis: | The preliminary results of a trial to examine and compare the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single dose of teicoplanin with three doses of cephradine combined with metronidazole are presented in a series of 113 patients undergoing elective vascular surgery. There were no obvious differences in the infection rates and sepsis indicators in either group. Neither drug regimen produced any evidence of renal or hepatic damage, though the levels of three hepatocellular enzymes, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT), were seen to be transiently elevated, peaking 7 days post-operatively. The trial continues. |
