Abstract
The results of antibiotic therapy in typhoid fever were reviewed in a recent editorial in the Journal.1 The clinical results that had been reported up to that time indicated that typhoid fever was one of the few acute bacterial infections in which modern chemotherapy and antibiotics had not yielded brilliant results. A few reports on the use of aureomycin were already available at that time. They indicated that apparently favorable effects were obtained in a small proportion of the cases, but the outcome in most cases was rather equivocal. Subsequent publications have reported similar results with this agent.2 3 4 With . . .Keywords
