, , 617-621. Seventy-four consecutive patients undergoing open-heart surgery were extensively investigated, preoperatively and postoperatively, for evidence of infection. The incidence of the infective complications encountered is presented, together with discussion on the aetiology of these complications. A previously unrecognized infective complication is described, this being a high incidence of infection with The series also reports an assessment of the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) test in these patients, and it is concluded that the system evolved in this series, of minimal chemoprophylaxis and constant monitoring of infection, affords a logical alternative to conventional methods using massive prophylaxis.
对74例连续接受心脏直视手术的患者在术前和术后进行了广泛的感染证据调查。文中呈现了所遇到的感染性并发症的发生率，并对这些并发症的病因进行了讨论。描述了一种先前未被认识到的感染性并发症，即感染发生率较高。该系列还报告了对这些患者进行的硝基蓝四氮唑（NBT）试验的评估，并得出结论，该系列所采用的最小化学预防和持续感染监测系统，为使用大规模预防的传统方法提供了一种合理的替代方案。
