Treatment of Salmonella paratyphi A osteomyelitis with trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole.

Effect of trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole on typhoid and salmonella carriers.

Four chronic typhoid carriers from the Aberdeen typhoid outbreak of 1964 were treated with trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole. The male carrier remained clear of infection following treatment but the three female carriers, all with gall bladder abnormalities, remained excretors. A convalescent typhoid excretor also remained clear of infection after treatment as well as two other salmonella carriers...

Typhoidal Salmonella and Emerging Resistance in Outbreak Proportions

Introduction: Typhoidal Salmonella causes an invasive infection resulting in 200 000 deaths among 20 million patients annually. Typhoid remains a public health problem in Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Africa, and South America. Traveler’s diarrhea caused by Salmonella is common in Asia. Outbreaks of typhoidal Salmonella resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and t...

Trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole in acute osteomyelitis due to penicillin-resistant staphylococci in Uganda.

Most recent cases of staphylococcal osteomyelitis seen at Mulago Hospital, Kampala, have been due to penicillin-resistant organisms. Six severely ill patients-four with multiple bone lesions-were treated with trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole; the response was prompt and satisfactory in all cases.

Treatment of chronic urinary salmonella carriers with trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole.

Enteric fever in Cambodian children is dominated by multidrug-resistant H58 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi with intermediate susceptibility to ciprofloxacin.

Infections with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi isolates that are multidrug resistant (MDR: resistant to chloramphenicol, ampicillin, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole) with intermediate ciprofloxacin susceptibility are widespread in Asia but there is little information from Cambodia. We studied invasive salmonellosis in children at a paediatric hospital in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Between 2007 and ...
