Above is the message which is being circulated around the world regarding the trial of Gatifloxacin on 390 typhoid patients in Patan Hospital by a team of our Nepali Doctors.

But I am horrified to read about Gatifloxacin and its side effects. This drug was withdrawn from the USA...

It was worth Reading " conflict of Interest "

And, i don't think this should be the end of the discussion !!

I have now waited for nearly 3 weeks to receive reply. Despite the authors request on this forum, to post the message on the PLoS discussion forum, we haven't had any reply.

I have even written to PLoS editorial team regarding the conflict of interest with no reply yet.

Oxford Tropical Health Research Institute hasn't also replied.

Sometimes, silence itself speaks a volume about the study than the reply itself.

I had visited Department of drug association where I came to know that the result of the study was on extensive observation and the department has yet to give a positive response on its use.

I hope the government body won't make mistake
