Abstract
One hundred patients underwent anal dilatation for acute or chronic anal fissure during the period 1983-1984; white blood count, serum, muscle enzymes, and blood cultures were done. Positive blood cultures were found following the procedure in eight patients. A correlation based on serum enzymes, bacteremia, and trauma can be made. Prophylactic broad-spectrum antibiotics are recommended for patients at risk.Entities:
