Abstract
in English, German

This is the seventh chapter of the guideline "Calculated initial parenteral treatment of bacterial infections in adults - update 2018" in the 2nd updated version. The German guideline by the Paul-Ehrlich-Gesellschaft für Chemotherapie e.V. (PEG) has been translated to address an international audience. The chapter deals with the empirical and targeted antimicrobial therapy of complicated intra-abdominal infections. It includes recommendations for antibacterial and antifungal treatment.

Dies ist das siebte Kapitel der von der Paul-Ehrlich-Gesellschaft für Chemotherapie e.V. (PEG) herausgegebenen S2k Leitlinie „Kalkulierte parenterale Initialtherapie bakterieller Erkrankungen bei Erwachsenen – Update 2018“ in der 2. aktualisierten Fassung.Es behandelt die empirische und gezielte antimikrobielle Therapie komplizierter intraabdominaler Infektionen und enthält Empfehlungen für die antibakterielle und antimykotische Behandlung.
