Sulphanilamides and Experimental Tuberculosis

Nature volume 150, pages 431–432 (1942)Cite this article

Abstract

A NUMBER of workers have claimed that sulphanilamide 1, sulphapyridine2, prontosil soluble 3, and sulphathiazole4 in high concentrations may modify the course of experimental tuberculosis in guinea pigs. Promin, p,p'-diaminodiphenylsulphone-N,N'-didextrose sulphonate, has also been found effective in animal experiments5. However, no positive clinical results have been secured with the first-mentioned sulphanilamides, while promin is at present being tested.
