Salmonella excretion after cessation of tosufloxacin therapy in acute nontyphoid salmonella enterocolitis.

چکیده
Symptomatic nontyphoid salmonella enterocolitis patients were treated with tosufloxacin (TFLX) at oral doses of 150 mg three times a day for 5 to 7 days, but bacterial relapse without symptoms occurred in 85% of the patients within 15 days after the cessation of therapy. Our study indicates that TFLX may not be an ideal drug against symptomatic salmonella enterocolitis from a bacteriological point of view.
