Abstract
This report describes a relapse of Salmonella paratyphi B infection in a child with biliary atresia, following 2 weeks of treatment with cip rofloxacin. The recrudescence was complicated by the development of os teomyelitis and was treated with chloramphenicol, trimethoprim, ceftri axone and ampicillin in succession.
