| Summary: | This book summarizes and brings up-to-date practically all our knowledge concerning antimicrobial prophylaxis in urology. Because of the profound effect the new fluoroquinolones have had in urology, their use is particularly emphasized and critically evaluated. In the first part, general considerations of antimicrobial prophylaxis and their specific problems in urology are provided. This includes a cost-benefit analysis of antimicrobial prophylaxis. The second and third part summarizes results of laboratory and animal studies. The fourth part includes human studies and an extensive review of the pertinent literature. For the first time summarized in one book, specific guidelines for each urologic procedure are provided, based on these theoretical, experimental and clinical considerations. This book primarily addresses the urologist; but also infectious disease specialists and hospital epidemiologists can derive new and relevant information from it. |
