Early in 1940'we published a report (1) on antibody formation in cases of lobar pneumonia treated with sulfapyridine. In nineteen treated cases of pneumococcus pneumonia repeatedly studied during the acute phase of the disease and during convalescence, an excess of type-specific antibody was only demonstrated in the serum of four. In the past it has often been shown that spontaneous recovery fr...

The suitability of analytical protocol for determination of sulfonamides in honey was investigated. Sulfonamides were extracted from honey with acetate buffer, and cleaned up by solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure. The liquid chromatography (LC) separation was carried out on RP C18 column and sulfonamides were monitored with fluorescence detector, after pre-column derivatisation. Recoveries ...

Evidence is accumulating which tends to demonstrate that these drugs also have a synergistic action clinically in the treatment of acute gonorrheal urethritis. Oard et al.2 have written of striking results in the treatment of 70 cases in young white males using 12 gm. of sul...
