Abstract
During 1992/1994, 250 injured persons were treated at the Department of Surgery of the General Hospital in Koprivnica. The authors report their observations upon the frequency of infections by war injuries, their clinical outstandings, the most common agents isolated from bacterial specimens and their reactivity upon antimicrobial medication. The majority of patients were transferred to our hospital from other institutions. Male patients in the age group 21-30 were predominant. Antimicrobial prophylaxis was conducted on 192 (77%) patients. All the infections were hospital-acquired infections. Wound infections were dominant. The most common agents from bacterial specimens were: Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, some of which showed remarkable resistance towards antimicrobial drugs.
