  • Title: An evaluation of prophylactic doxycycline in hysterectomy patients.
    Author: Wheeless CR, Dorsey JH, Wharton LR.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1978 Sep; 21(3):146-50. PubMed ID: 364059.
    Abstract:
    Although data now exist that the use of prophylactic antibiotics reduces postoperative febrile morbidity in hysterectomy patients, some controversy remains about this point of view. This prospective, double-blind, randomized study evaluated the use of doxycycline before and during the first three postoperative days after abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy in private patients. The results indicate a reduction in the febrile morbidity in the drug group as compared to the placebo group.
