Objectives: To see whether there is any difference in choice of antimicrobial agents used for surgical prophylaxis in consideration with co-morbidities in patients undergoing surgeries Methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted in 600 surgical cases from General surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Orthopaedics departments in a tertiary care hospital. Data were collected from medical case sheets about AMA used for surgical prophylaxis with regards to dose, timing, frequency, duration and past history of patient with regards to co-morbid condition like diabetes mellitus, tuberculosis, HIV and chronic asthma. Results: In General surgery and Obstetrics and Gynaecology department metronidazole was commonly used and in Orthopaedics department amikacin was commonly used for surgical prophylaxis either in combination with ceftriaxone or cefotaxime. In none of above patients there found any difference in choice of antimicrobial agents used for surgical prophylaxis with regards to associated co-morbidities when compared with the patients without any associated co-morbidities.
