Abstract

We observed 60 patients with acute Flexner's dysentery and salmonellosis. Complex treatment included enterosorbents; enterosgel, activated carbon and polyfepan. The results showed that co-administration of enterosgel as compared to that of activated carbon and polyfepan resulted in more vigorous elimination of pathogens. In patients with acute dysentery enterosgel when used at the background of nitroflurane therapy potentiated the latter. Enterosorbents improved also body resistance in enteric infections.
