This study examined whether coinfection of shigellosis patients with Giardia lamblia had any influence on the bacterial therapeutic effect of fluoroquinolones. Five shigellosis patients with a coinfection with G. lamblia and 15 control patients with shigellosis only were treated with standard doses of fluoroquinolones.
