  • Title: Use of clindamycin and gentamicin in pediatric colonic surgery.
    Author: Berlatzky Y, Rubin SZ, Michel J, Sacks T, Schiller M.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1976 Dec; 11(6):943-8. PubMed ID: 1003306.
    Abstract:
    The combination of clindamycin and gentamicin was used to treat 25 pediatric surgical patients. In 9 of the 11 patients with perforated appendicitis, B. fragilis was isolated from the peritoneal cavity. There was a rapid clinical response to treatment in all cases. No side effects were observed. Clindamycin and gentamicin seem to be the antibiotics of choice for such infections.
