i am seeing many pts who were given meropenem for enteric fever for 8 to 10 days by some pediatricians.these pts continued to have high fever.these all pts responded very well either to ceftriaxone alone or cxone+ofloxacin within 4 to5 days.one pt responded nicely to oral cefuroxime.using meropenem for enteric fever is in my opinion wastage of both time and money.
