[Our experience with a combination of rifampicin and minocycline in the therapy of brucellosis].
After a brief review of the literature on the treatment of brucellosis the results obtained with a new protocol (Rifampicin + Minocycline for 20 days) are reported. The combination was well-tolerated and undeniably effective producing a 94% cure rate.
