4.	Infection 09/01/1977 - "vivax, concomitant delivery of the two agents resulted in a 32-fold increase in the activity of pyrimethamine and a 50- to 100-fold increase in the activity of sulfadizine; 3) that as a result of this synergism, infections with the pyrimethamine resistant Ro/PM and Palo Alto strains could be cured with a fraction of the maximum tolerated dose of this drug; 4) that in marked contrast to the above result, infections with the Malayan Camp and Vietnam Smith strains of P. " 09/01/2005 - "Among patients infected with the quintuple resistant parasites, day 3 blood pyrimethamine concentrations were higher in those who cleared the infection than in those who did not (305 +/- 35.4 versus 228 +/- 21.7 ng/ml; P = 0.037). " 01/01/1993 - "Maternal weekly pyrimethamine prophylaxis did not appear to be effective in preventing infection as six (21.4%) of the 28 neonates whose mothers had regular prophylaxis had parasitaemia compared with seven (26.9%) of the 26 neonates whose mothers had no prophylaxis (chi 2 = 0.22; p > 0.05). " 11/01/1984 - "Urinary excretion studies indicated that protection persisted as long as the daily output of CGT did not fall below that attained with the parenterally administered hydrochloride salt at a dose equivalent to 0.015 mg of CGT per kg. Studies on infections with the resistant Ro/PM strain showed that the activity of CGT-P was compromised severely by resistance to pyrimethamine.
