Moxifloxacin efficacy was studied in a prospective open controlled incomparable surveillance of 22 patients at the age of 24 to 78 years (the average of 56.6 +/- 15.9 years old) with extended secondary peritonitis that developed before the hospitalization or not later than 48 hours after the hospitalization. Moxifloxacin (Avelox) was used in a dose of 400 mg every 24 hours at first intravenously as infusions and then orally in the same dose. The abdominal infection was severe (APACHE II of 6 to 12, the average of 8.0 +/- 2.2), in 6 (27.3%) patients signs of severe sepsis with polyorganic insufficiency were observed. The intravenous therapy was used for 3 to 7 days (the average of 3.91 +/- 0.92 days) and the oral therapy was used for 2 to 7 days (the average of 4.50 + 1.37 days). The total time of the treatment was 7 to 12 days (the average of 8.45 +/- 1.53 days). The recovery was recorded in 20 out of the 22 patients (90.9%), disappearance of the main signs of peritonitis being observed within 3-5 days of the treatment. Before the treatment 34 microbial strains were isolated. The most frequent pathogens were E.coli (35.4%) and Enterococcus faecalis (20.6%). In the etiological structure of the community-acquired peritonitis gramnegative enterobacteria prevailed (65%). All the isolates (except 1 strain of E. faecalis) were susceptible to moxifloxacin. The pathogen eradication was stated in 17 out of 18 patients (94.4%). Moderate adverse reactions were observed in 3 patients. Moxifloxacin evidently showed high clinical and bacteriological efficacies in the hospitalized patients with complicated intraabdominal infection including severe abdominal sepsis with the syndrome of polyorganic insufficiency. It can be used for monotherapy of patients with secondary extended peritonitis.
