Randomized double-blind evaluation of ciprofloxacin and doxycycline for Mediterranean spotted fever.

Department of Medicine, Bellvitge Hospital, University of Barcelona, Spain.

ABSTRACT

A study of 43 patients with Mediterranean spotted fever showed that a 2-day course of ciprofloxacin or a 2-day course of doxycycline may be an effective mode of therapy. All patients in both arms of the study were cured; however, doxycycline produced a more rapid defervescence.
