[Antibiotic treatment of brucellosis (author's transl)].
Tetracyclines are remarkably effective in brucellosis and give consistently good results. However, recurrences have been reported even after correct management. Combination therapy with tetracycline and streptomycin, advocated by the FAO/WHO, has improved results without giving complete satisfaction. Association of tetracycline with rifampicin suggested on sound theoretical grounds, has given promising results.
