The objective of the study was to elucidate the role of nonclostridial anaerobic microflora in the pathogenesis of postpartum infectious and inflammatory diseases, and to choose an effective combination of antimicrobial chemotherapy. Inclusion of hyperbaric oxygen and of chemotherapy of the directed action on the obligate anaerobic flora contributed to rapid disappearance of the systemic inflammation signs and to proper involution of the uterus in 56 (86.2 %) parturients in the main group. Successful treatment in the control group was observed in 44 (67.7 %) patients (P=0.12).
