What is Typhoid is treated by all except and explain in detail?
Ans. is 'a' i.e., Erythromycin The older agents used for the treatment of typhoid were : Chloramphenicol Ampicilin Trimethoprim Sulfamethoxazole Beta lactam Parenteral - Ceftriaxone Orall - Cefixime These drugs are not used nowdays because of widespread resistance. o Nowdays the drug of choice for Typhoid all over the world is a "Fluroquinolone" (Ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin). An impoant point to remember High level of fluoroquinolone resistance (ciprofloxacin) have been repoed from India and other pas of South East Asia in S. paratyphi and S.typhi infection. Nalidixic acid resistant S.typhi (NARST) have decreased ciprofloxacin sensitivity and are less effectively treated with fluoroquinolones. The fluroquinolones should not be used as first line treatment for typhoid fevers in patients from India and other pas of South Asia with high rates of fluroquinolone resistance unless antibiotic susceptibility data demonstrates fluoroquinolone or nalidixic acid sensitivity.
