Forrester, J.S. _Title_: The Treatment of Bacillary Dysentery in Chinese Soldiers with Sulfaguanidine and Sulfadiazine. _Quotation_: American Journal of Medical Science 211,103 (January, 1946). _Purpose_: Page 103: “The opportunity to make controlled observations of the efficacy of sulfaguanidine and sulfadiazine in the treatment of acute bacillary dysentery has recently presented itself to us. In an Army general hospital in northeastern India caring for Chinese and American troops, we have observed many hundreds of cases within the past year. It early became apparent that we were dealing with a relatively benign form of the disease with a uniformly favorable outcome. Under these circumstances, it seemed both justifiable and important to utilize the opportunity to determine to what extent sulfonamide therapy shortened the course of the disease or otherwise favorably influenced its course.” _Experiment_: “The present communication describes the results of such an investigation, carried out in the 7-month period from June through December 1943, in which the results of treatment were compared in 334 Chinese patients with bacillary dysentery, one-third received sulfaguanidine and one-third, sulfadiazine.” _Results_: Page 109: “Neither drug shortened the course of the disease, ameliorated the symptoms, nor altered the eventual outcome.” _Test persons_: 334 Chinese soldiers patients. _Excerpt from the Original Report No. 23_
