Thirty two consecutive children who underwent surgery for suspected acute appendicitis, were treated with prophylactic metronidazole suppositories. A serum sample was taken at surgery to determine the serum concentration of the drug. After a preoperative dose of 15-20 mg/kg the minimal bactericidal concentration was achieved in almost all cases at the time of anesthetic induction. This drug showed an optimal biodisponibility when used rectally and no side-effects was noted. Neither a wound-infection, nor a wound-sepsis was reported and a satisfactory outcome was registered. We conclude that rectal dosing with metronidazole is effective for prophylactic wound infection in acute appendicitis.
