The resolution of skin and soft tissue infections following a single course of treatment with flucloxacillin* was assessed in 235 patients recruited by nineteen physicians. In all, 88·5% of patients were completely cured or showed a highly satisfactory improvement after 3 to 12 days' treatment. Only three patients failed to show any improvement at all. Side-effects were limited to twelve patients (5·1%) all of whom were able to complete their course of treatment.
