Septic complications are the most frequent and potentially lethal complications among patients treated for tumours. Respiratory tract infection, including pneumonia, is third most frequent of all infections occurring among patients undergoing surgical treatment. Of great clinical and pharmaeconomical importance is rational therapy with antibiotics, which lowers the risk of septic complications and sometimes even saves patients' lives. Azithromycin proved to be effective cure for environmental pneumonia. There has been presented a preliminary research on effectiveness of azithromicin in the treatment of septic pneumonia among patients treated for upper digestive tract cancers.
