Abstract

Human brucellosis can be managed with different therapeutic measures. The present study compares the therapeutic efficacy of the classical treatment with streptomycin, doxicyclin and cotrimoxazole, every one of the treatment regimes being applied to 19 patients with acute brucellosis. The results do not demonstrate an advantage of the new association over the classical treatment. Relapses, time elapsed until the patient was afebrile and drug tolerance were similar for both treatments. The classical treatment has a lower cost but the new association implies more patient comfort because the number of pills to be ingested daily is reduced to less than half, a fact that could make it the treatment of choice.
