[Therapeutic results using combined antibiotic therapy in chronic carriers].

From 1969 to January 1976 82 chronic carriers underwent a sanitation treatment. This treatment consists in an antibiotic combination treatment with ampicillin and canamycin during 24 to 18 days, in which case possibly simultaneously the cholecystectomy is striven for. In chronic carriers of S. typhi in 37 cases the combined antibiotic-operative treatment led to the permanent success. In chronic carriers of S. paratyphi B 21 of 22 cases were present. In patients with condition after cholecystectomy in every case one failure was present. In purely conservative approach the coefficient of success was 50 and 78%.
