Since different therapeutic methods for childhood Brucellosis are suggested, this study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of Co-trimoxazol and Rifampine in the treatment of children with Brucellosis. Methods: This study was conducted on 96 cases of childhood Brucellosis without any control group in Babol during 1995 to 1998. After diagnosis of Brucellosis all patients were treated by Co-trimoxazol and Rifampine for six weeks, and then all patients were followed for 12 months. Findings: From a total of 96 cases, 53 (55%) were male and 43 (45%) were female. Mean age was 10.3±3.4 years. The mean interval between presentation of the disease and the final diagnosis was 27±17 days. 82 cases completed the treatment and followed up for 12 months, and 2 cases (2.4%) had relapses. Conclusion: Combination therapy with Co-trimoxazol and Rifampine for six weeks is a good regimen with a low relapse rate, however further controlled trials must confirm these results.MR Hassanjani RoshanY ZahedPashaBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticlebrucellosischildrentreatmentrelapseco-trimoxazolrifampineMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 2, Iss 4, Pp 17-20 (2000)
