Abstract:
With the aim to estimate the clinical and immunological efficiency of the ciprofloxacin (cifloxinal) 105 patients with acute (51), subacute (19) and chronic (35) brucellosis were studied. Control group (17 patients with acute and 30 patients with chronic brucellosis) have been treated with combination of two antibiotics: doxycycline and rifampicin. Ciprofloxacin in a dose 500 mg bid within 14 days in acute stage and 20 days in chronic stage of disease essentially reduced duration of local inflammatory processes of brucellosis with simultaneous treatment of the chronic infection focus, provides good proximate and distant outcomes of treatment. Ciprofloxacin can be considered as an alternative drug for the treatment of brucellosis, more effective (clinically and immunologically) than a combination of two antibiotics: doxycycline and rifampicin.
