Treatment of Chronic Urinary Salmonella Carriers with Trimethoprim- Sulphamethoxazole

Abstract

Nine chronic urinary salmonella carriers were treated with combined trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole and niridazole and another 10 carriers (used as controls) were treated with niridazole. Eight of nine who received combined therapy were completely cured whereas only three of the 10 receiving antischistosomal therapy alone were cured. Of the seven patients who relapsed after antischistosomal therapy five were successfully re-treated with trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole.
