Concerning the value of the sulfonamides there are widely divergent opinions. Some are to the effect that they are of doubtful or no value, others that recoveries may be definitely ascribed to their usage.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 16 Concerning heparin in conjunction with sulfapyridine, no optimistic conclusions have been expressed since the sanguine preliminary report by Kelson and White.7A consideration of factors involved in subacute bacterial endocarditis clarifies the reasons advanced for the employment of heparin and sulfonamide compounds, and...Bibliography1.
