[Experience in using new drug preparations for treating adult patients with acute intestinal infections]

Ciprofloxacin (Bayer, FRG), a derivative of hydroxyquinolone acid, was used for the treatment of patients with shigellosis and salmonellosis and for the sanitation of Salmonella carriers. The drug turned out to exert a positive effect on bacteriological sanitation of the body. In order to treat patients with food toxinfection of unknown etiology, use was made of intetrix (Farmacos, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia). Inclusion of the drug into combined treatment of patients with food toxinfections did not show any material advantages.
