Comparison between doxycycline–rifampin–amikacin and doxycycline–rifampin regimens in the treatment of brucellosis

Abstract

Given the fact that the ADR regimen had a higher efficacy and more rapid action in terms of relief of symptoms compared to the DR regimen, and that no significant difference in drug side-effects and disease relapse existed in the patients of either group, adding amikacin to the DR standard treatment regimen seems beneficial.
