Various therapeutic and preventive methods were evaluated in 80 @entity1 with recurrent @entity6690 . The most appropriate treatment was peroral antibiotics for 10-14 days, mainly @entity9309 twice daily. @entity12119 ointment was used for prevention of relapses. @entity1 and healthy family members who carried the @entity1 applied the ointment in nares twice daily every 4th week during 4-15 months. The method had a permanent effect in 80%. Implantation of strain 502 A was less effective when evaluated during a 2-3 yr period. 40-80 @entity1 were checked up to 8 yr after their last furuncle. Three still had furuncles, in 2 of these cases the original strain was found in nares. 37 @entity1 , now healthy after a mean observation time of 4.5 yr, showed either new nasal strains or negative cultures. A significantly lower frequency of phage group II strains in nares was noted in comparison to the previous findings during active @entity6690 .
