Comparison of Infection and Urosepsis Rates of Ciprofloxacin and Ceftriaxone Prophylaxis before Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Prospective and Randomised Study

Table 3

Effect of culture positivity on SIRS between CIPRO and CTX groups.

	CIPRO			CTX
	SIRS			SIRS
	(+)	(−)	P value	(+)	(−)	P value
(+) Stone culture (%)	14.3%	26.3%	0.663	25%	39%	1.000
(+) Renal pelvis urine culture (%)	14.3%	2.6%	0.290	0	2.4%	1.000
(+) Postop. urine culture (%)	42.9%	13.9%	0.094	0	7.3%	1.000

*No statistically significant difference was observed in positive cultures between ceftriaxone and cetrifiaxone in terms of SIRS positivity. (P > 0.05).
**Chi-Square test.
