    Abstract:
    In the present study, 33 adult patients with salmonella infections consisting of 13 typhoid fever, 9 paratyphoid fever, 8 enterocolitis, 2 carriers, 1 acute gastroenteritis have been treated with ofloxacin. The duration of treatment was 10 days for typhoid fever, 7 days for paratyphoid fever, 5 days for enterocolitis, 3 days for acute gastroenteritis and 7 days for asymptomatic carriers. All the patients recovered without any complication and fever declined to normal levels within a mean of 3.0 +/- 1.34 days. Two carriers of S. enteritidis became salmonella free after 7 days of ofloxacin treatment. One of the patients who had severe S. paratyphi B bacteremia remained carrier for about 6 months. None of the patients have relapsed. The antibiotic therapy proposals on salmonella in adults were discussed in the light of our results and the other studies.
