We report a case of ciprofloxacin treatment failure in a typhoid fever patient at a tertiary care hospital in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. This case shows not only the emergence of fluoroquinolone resistance in typhoid salmonellae but also the inadequacy of the current laboratory guidelines for detection of this resistance.
我们报告了巴基斯坦拉瓦尔品第一家三级护理医院中一名伤寒热患者环丙沙星治疗失败的病例。该病例不仅显示了伤寒沙门氏菌对氟喹诺酮类药物耐药性的出现,还表明了当前检测这种耐药性的实验室指南存在不足。
