We have performed a post-hoc analysis of the results of using antibacterial therapy in patients with pleural empyema. The cost-effectiveness analysis of rational and empiric antibacterial therapies was performed. The cost-effectiveness ratio for rational antibacterial therapy was lower than for empiric one (2889 and 4480 rubles for 1 treated patient correspondingly). The use of the rules of rational antibacterial therapy in practice leads to proved saving of economic costs.
