The head of the City Cancer Center in Pesochny, Doctor of Medical Sciences Vladimir Moiseenko, considers the emergence of antibiotic resistance in cancer patients treated for coronavirus in covid hospitals a serious problem. As the correspondent of “Rosbalt” reports, the doctor told reporters about this at a press conference dedicated to the day of the fight against cancer.
“Covid has put a serious typo on everything we do,” said Vladimir Moiseenko. “There is a serious problem of protecting staff from covid, we have also created a quarantine zone so that patients with a positive PCR do not get into the hospital.”
But a serious and still unresolved problem, according to Vladimir Moiseenko, is the emergence of cancer patients with multidrug-resistant microflora. These are those patients who were treated for a new coronavirus infection in hospitals and received a large dose of antibacterial drugs.
“Due to the fact that the dose of antibacterial drugs is large – antibiotics simply flow like water – and all of them are of a wide spectrum of action, then resistant flora appears in patients,” the doctor notes. – And it is not yet clear how to deal with such patients when they come to us – surgical oncologists for surgery. By itself, the transferred covid contributes to the appearance of postoperative complications in our patients, and the presence of resistant flora makes it very difficult to manage these patients if they develop an infection.
Moiseenko added that this problem is not only in St. Petersburg, it is a problem for the whole country.
Recall that earlier the chief oncologist of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation said that there is no evidence that people who have recovered from covid are more likely to develop cancer.
