  • Title: Staphylococcal infections.
    Author: Výmola F, Buda J.
    Journal: J Hyg Epidemiol Microbiol Immunol; 1977; 21(4):468-72. PubMed ID: 565380.
    Abstract:
    All the forms of staphylococcal infections require cooperation among microbiologists, immunologists and clinicians. In case of any acute staphylococcus process, the curative tactics is based on an effective chemotherapy sometimes completed by a radical surgical intervention. In case of chronic forms, however, the antibiotics therapy is considered to be problematic. It is the specific immunotherapy by means of specific vaccine with polyvalent action, containing all pathogenetically significant antigens, that is considered by the authors to be a reliable base of the therapy of chronic staphylococcus infections. The specific polyvalent phage lysate is used for local application. It has to be pointed out that this therapy requires a complex curative regimen, i.e. regulation of the deficiency of serum immunoglobulines, administration of antibiotics, amelioration of the tissue trophism of the area concerned, suitable therapy by means of vitamines and diet. If necessary, surgical technique and tactics are an important part of the entire complex curative method.
