During the past year we have continued our observations upon the value of chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia in adult patients. Originally, we planned only to continue the use of sulfapyridine, but late in 1939, as a result of the work of McKee et al.2, 3and of work carried out in...Bibliography1.
