Ticarcillin disodium/clavulanate potassium versus clindamycin/gentamicin in the treatment of postpartum endometritis

S Faro et al. J Reprod Med. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

Ticarcillin disodium/clavulanate potassium was compared to clindamycin/gentamicin in the treatment of post-cesarean-section endometritis in 133 evaluable patients. All patients received three 1-g doses of cefazolin for prophylaxis. There was no statistically significant difference in the cure rates between the ticarcillin disodium/clavulanate potassium group (84%) and the clindamycin/gentamicin group (81%). Bacteremia occurred in 21% of the patients, with Mycoplasma the most frequent isolate. Ticarcillin disodium/clavulanate potassium was found to be as efficacious as clindamycin/gentamicin in the treatment of postpartum endometritis.
