The Impact of Antibiotic Prophylaxis on Incidence of Post-bronchoscopy Fever and Change of Serum Cytokines
The Impact of Antibiotic Prophylaxis on Incidence of Post-bronchoscopy Fever and Change of Serum Cytokines
Fever can develop after fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) in about 2.5 - 16 % of adult patients.
 We evaluated the impact of oral amoxicillin/clavulanate (AC) on incidence of
 postbronchoscopic fever and pneumonia.
For the population being undergone with bronchoscopy, the clinical signs and procedural
 measures for complication of bronchoscopy and cytokines will be checked.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  adult patients (aged 18 years or older) who underwent FB

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  concurrent treatment with antibiotics or systemic corticosteroid
