It is important to prevent the surgical site infection after operation. Surgeons diagnose it be using many kinds of patient's information such as fever, counts of white blood cells, the complains of pain and use the antibiotics to treat it. But it is difficult to evaluate the effect of the medicine, because these patient's information has the fuzziness and the diagnostic logic of the surgeon is subjective. The purpose of this paper is to propose a fuzzy logic for detecting the surgical site infection, employing the fuzzy inference based on the data of differential counts of white blood cells. By the application of this logic to the clinical cases, we had the same results as the ones by the discriminate analysis with many variables.
