[ 5, 46, 47] In a study comprising 90 patients with shigellosis from 2008 to 2013 who had acquired Shigella as traveler's Future research directions include testing whether the dosage of azithromycin can be decreased to 10 mg/kg per day, which was previously shown to be effective in a 7-day treatment course, and/or whether the duration of therapy can be further shortened to minimize costs while maintaining efficacy
Levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin are also options for acute watery diarrhea (single dose 500 mg and 750 mg, respectively) and febrile diarrhea Only limited data on efficacy of single-dose azithromycin regimen for treatment of chancroid in HIV-infected patients; use only if follow-up can be ensured
Genetic mechanisms behind the spread of reduced susceptibility to azithromycin in Shigella strains isolated from men who have sex with
The so-called active intervention in adjunct to rehydration includes specific
Presently, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, and ceftriaxone serve as the mainstays of treatment, although growing evidence has documented decreased susceptibility Background: Shigella remains the primary cause of diarrhoea in paediatric patients worldwide and accounts for up to 40,000 deaths per year
