    OBJECTIVE: To study the appropriate antibiotic for prophylactic use in cesarean section. METHODS: The effects and side effects of prophylatic antibiotics in 1 266 cesarean section were studied retrospectively. Six regiems were engaged: (1) Penicillin and Ampicillin; (2) Mezlocillin sodium; (3) Sulbactam and Ampicillin; (4) Ciprofloxacin; (5) Clindamycin; (6) Cefacidal. RESULTS: The duration of postoperative body temperature return to normal of 1 - 6 group is (54.0 +/- 28.4) hours, (48.9 +/- 27.8) hours, (49.9 +/- 23.9) hours, (58.6 +/- 33.7) hours, (52.5 +/- 25.2) hours, (63.1 +/- 51.1) hours respectively. It was longer in cefazolin group than the others. There were less puerperal morbidity and side effects of Mezlocillin. CONCLUSIONS: Penicillin and Ampicillin are still the most common choices as prophylatic antibiotic in cesarean section. Mezlocillin is appropriate as well.
