Abstract
The value of cephradine prophylaxis in reducing urinary infection was assessed in 243 patients undergoing endoscopy for bladder carcinoma. Patients were randomised either to receive 3 peri-operative doses of cephradine or to receive no antibiotic. Urine specimens taken on the fifth post-operative day showed a significantly lower urinary infection rate in those patients receiving cephradine prophylaxis.Entities:
