He was at once put on sulphapyridine 1 gm. four times daily and plenty of glucose alkaline drink. Locally, a dressing of sulphonamide in glycerine, 20 grains to an ounce, was applied. On 26th February, 1948, his condition showed definite improvement. Temperature came down to normal and the swelling was much reduced. Sulphapyridine 1 gm. was given three times and continued for three days more with 0.5 gm. doses three times daily. Sulphonamide ointment was then applied locally and the ulcer healed up within a fortnight.

متن کاملHigh-affinity, human antibody-like antibody fragment (single-chain variable fragment) neutralizing the lethal factor (LF) of Bacillus anthracis by inhibiting protective antigen-LF complex formation.
The anthrax lethal toxin (LT) consists of two subunits, the protective antigen (PA) and the lethal factor (LF), and is essential for anthrax pathogenesis. Several recombinant antibodies directed against PA and intended for medical use have been obtained, but none against LF, despite the recommendations of anthrax experts.
