Abstract

We describe the results of eight patients with renal tuberculosis treated with rifampin, isoniazid and ofloxacin. Ofloxacin was given orally, 200 mg b.i.d. for 6 months. During the first three months, rifampin (600 mg/daily) and isoniazid (330 mg/daily) were added. All M. tuberculosis strains isolated were sensitive to ofloxacin (MIC 1 mg/l). Follow-up cultures turned to be negative rapidly (during the first month of therapy), and no untoward effects were recorded. All patients had a 12-months follow-up period, and all were clinically cured. The treatment used was well accepted by all patients.
