TRATAMENTO DE ABSCESSOS SUBCUTÂNEOS COM ÁCIDO METACRESOLSULFÔNICO ASSOCIADO À NITROFURAZONA E À APLICAÇÃO PARENTERAL DE ENROFLOXACINA TREATMENT OF SUBCUTANEOUS ABSCESSES WITH METHACRESOLSULPHONIC ACID ASSOCIATED WITH NITROFURAZONE AND THE PARENTERAL APPLICATION OF ENROFLOXACIN

&lt;!-- @page { margin: 2cm } --&gt; &lt;p class="western" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;Descreveu-se a utilização local do ácido metacresolsufônico associado à nitrofurazona em adição à aplicação parenteral de enrofloxacina, no tratamento de abscessos subcutâneos em 36 animais (22 bovinos, 4 caprinos, 5 eqüinos, 2 suínos, 1 ovino, 1 muar e 1 bubalino). O tratamento medicamentoso foi instituído após incisão, drenagem e lavagem com solução antisséptica para a retirada de quaisquer materiais ainda presentes no sítio da lesão. Apenas dois animais apresentaram recidivas, atribuídas à utilização inadequada da terapêutica e à não-manutenção das regras de higiene no pós-operatório. A associação em questão provou ser eficaz, as incisões para drenagem devem ser realizadas na parte mais ventral da lesão e a resolução do processo patológico deve ocorrer entre o 10° e 15° dias.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="western" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Abscesso; ácido metacresolsulfônico; nitrofurazona.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br>&lt;!-- @page { margin: 2cm } --&gt; &lt;p class="western" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;The utilization of methacresolsulphonic acid topically, associated with nitrofurazone, in addition to the parenteral application of enrofloxacin was described in the treatment of subcutaneous abscesses in 36 animals (22 bovines, four caprines, five equines, two swines, one ovine, one mule and one buffalo). Medical treatment was initiated after incision; drainage and lavage of the abscess with an antiseptic solution were made in order to remove any foreign material which might still be in the lesion. Only two animals showed relapses, attributed both to the inadequate utilization of the therapeutic procedures and to the non-observation of post-operatory hygienic measures. The association of these drugs proved to be effective and the drainage should be attempted in the more ventral area of the lesion, and the pathologic process resolution might occur between 10-15 days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="western" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;"&gt;KEY-WORDS: Abscess; methacresolsuphonic acid; nitrofurazone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
