Abstract
The results of employing a combination of Aureomycin and triple sulfonamides-sulfadiazine, sulfamerazine, and sulfamethazine (Aureomagma)-are reported in the treatment of diarrhea of infancy and childhood. Diarrhea was due to infections with Sh. paradysenteriae or of unknown etiology. The combination has been evaluated according to the following criteria: (1) reversal of positive stool cultures, (2) influence upon the duration and severity of diarrhea, (3) requirement for extended parenteral fluid therapy, (4) reduction of fever, (5) length of hospitalization, (6) blood sulfonamide levels, and (7) undesirable side effects. In all respects, this combination was observed to be superior to a variety of chemotherapeutic and antibiotic agents when the remainder of the treatment was similar. © 1954 The C. V. Mosby Company.
