TREATMENT OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS PNEUMONIA IN RADIATION SICKNESS (in Russian)
S>Effects of streptomycin, penicillin, and bicillin on experimentally induced staphylococcus pneumonia in radiation sickness were investigated on 20 rabbits and 140 white rats. Efficacy of antibiotics was evaluated on the basis of clinico-roentgenological and bacteriological methods of treatment. The results of observations showed that early diagnosed pneumonia may be cured in prolonged administration of antibiotics even if it takes place on the background of radiation sickness. It was established by bacteriological experiments that treatment by streptomycin and biciliin promotes liberation of the organism from the microbes. It was completely freed from them on the 6th day after the infection. Treatment of staphylococcus pneumonia was unsuccessful in a number of irradiated animals and depended on the time of its commencement, its length, and the appearance of antibiotic-resistant forms of microbes.
