A retrospective survey of 253 appendectomies performed on children over a period of one year was carried out. Streptococcus milleri was isolated from pus in 11 (29%) of the 38 children who developed postoperative infections; it was the most commonly identified pathogen in these children. It is concluded that S milleri is a significant pathogen in childhood appendicitis, and that this fact should be taken into account when antibiotic therapy is being planned.
对一年内为儿童实施的253例阑尾切除术进行了回顾性调查。在38例发生术后感染的儿童中，有11例（29%）的脓液中分离出米勒链球菌；它是这些儿童中最常鉴定出的病原体。得出的结论是，米勒链球菌是儿童阑尾炎的一种重要病原体，在规划抗生素治疗时应考虑到这一事实。
