Abstract

Two schedules of antimicrobial agents were compared in this prospective study of antimicrobial prophylaxis in diabetes mellitus patients undergoing cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis. One hundred women grouped into two matched groups of 50 women each were studied. The results suggest that apart from a population of patients with identifiable risks of complications, a 24 hour, four dose antimicrobial prophylaxis is adequate and more cost effective than the five day schedule for most patients.
