ABSTRACT
We have presented theoretical assumptions and experimental applications of autovaccines in comprehensive treatment of chronic staphylococcal inflammation of bones. The authors discuss the material about 44 patients including 27 of those with post-traumatic inflammation of bones in whom the treatment concerning surgical processing with inflow drainage, antibiotic therapy and fragment of fractured bone stabilization was given using the staphylococcal autovaccine. The successful treatment results which we obtained in 28 patients suggest to include the autovaccine in comprehensive treatment of chronic staphylococcal inflammation of bones. It especially refers to post-traumatic inflammation of bones and infected false joints which still remains a difficult therapeutic problem.
