Abstract
Ofloxacin 200 mg b.i.d. for 8 days was employed in 28 patients with enteric fever with a positive blood culture. All patients were cured clinically and bacteriologically. The fever subsided within a mean of 3.1 days (range 1.6-5.3). No relapse, clinical or bacteriological, was observed when patients were followed up for 12 weeks.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
