R J Dworkin1, B L Lee, M A Sande, H F Chambers.   

Abstract

A combination of ciprofloxacin (intravenous then oral) and oral rifampicin was tested in 14 intravenous drug users with right-sided Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis. All 10 patients who completed therapy were cured based on resolution of symptoms and negative blood cultures at 4 weeks post therapy.
