Authors examined the circumstances of bacteriological infection of open fractures and large size injuries of the soft tissues. Bacteriological examinations were made from the ichor before the primary wound care and immediately after its finishing. It is stated that in open injuries there is only a potential possibility of infection and with an early wound care its danger can be substantially decreased. In the purulent infection after open injuries one has always to think on the possibility of secondary hospital infection.
