NCT ID NCT07445282
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving two antibiotics together (meropenem and azithromycin) helps children with drug-resistant typhoid fever get better faster than using just one. 90 children aged 6 months to 5 years with confirmed typhoid took part. The main goal was to see how quickly their fever went away and stayed away for at least 48 hours.
