Answer to the comment of Dr. Petros et al. on our manuscript about accumulation of oral antibiotics as an adverse effect of selective decontamination of the digestive tract

摘要

Dr. Petros et al. noted in their comment to our case-report about accumulation of oral antibiotics in the digestive tract that, we did not estimate the incidence of this side effect. No published case-reports of selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) accumulation were found and we are not aware of similar cases besides our report. Therefore, SDD accumulation seems very rare. It may remain unrecognized, but apparently an accumulation of clinical importance has not been described earlier.
