RESUMEN
In 14 patients with cirrhosis and chronic portosystemic encephalopathy, the effectiveness of treatment with a new non-assorbable antibiotic (rifaximine) was compared to neomycin. The parameters evaluated were: bradylalia, flapping tremor, performance, visual evoked potentials and the trial making test. Both treatments were combined with lactulose. The analysis of results showed a rate of positive results in the patients treated with rifaximine greater than that with neomycin. Differences, however, were not significant.
