Addition of aminoglycosidesc is optional.
2. The duration of treatment is variable and depends on the type of infection found, adequacy of control of focus, the status of host defenses, and the response to treatment. Patients who have localized peritonitis or an intra-abdominal abscess (if abscess is completely drained) and who are not immunocompromised can be treated for a relatively brief period (7 to 10 days), whereas patients with generalized peritonitis and who are more ill require a longer duration of treatment (10 to 14 days) to 2 to 4 weeks of intravenous therapy followed by prolonged oral antibiotic course (if needed) if drainage is incomplete. Antimicrobial therapy should continue until there are clear signs that the infection has resolved.
3. Continued evidence of infection, e.g., fever, elevated white blood cell count, gastrointestinal tract function, indicates persistent intra-abdominal infection or the occurrence of nosocomial infection at another site. This should prompt appropriate diagnostic investigations.

RISICO’s van GRIEP (uit de CEASE opleiding van Tinus Smits/2009) De ziekte De griep is een jaarlijks terugkerend verschijnsel in de winter. Het virus wordt overgedragen door speekseldruppeltjes bij het hoesten of niezen. Slechts de helft van de besmette personen wordt daadwerkelijk ziek.
