[Treatment of lactation mastitis].

Results of the hospital treatment of severe purulent mastitis in 127 women after childbirth were analyzed. The authors believe that opening of the purulent cavity and dissection of the purulent focus within the limits of intact tissues do not exclude one another. They should be performed according to corresponding indications. The intensive infusion therapy is thought to be necessary for struggle against toxemia, for correction of the acidic-alkaline state and partial parenteral feeding. Feeding from the diseased breast should be permitted under conditions of sterile milk.
