TY - JOUR T1 - IOdoxyquinolin sulphonic acid in the treatment of amebic dysentery AU - JONES PH, TURNER RH Y1 - 1929/08/24 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1929.02710080009005 JO - Journal of the American Medical Association SP - 583 EP - 586 VL - 93 IS - 8 N2 - It is now generally recognized that amebiasis is a widespread condition (Thomson,1 Willner2). The treatment is unsatisfactory on account of the frequency of relapses and complications. For these reasons, observations on the use of iodoxyquinolin sulphonic acid3 are of interest.In a previous paper we4 made a preliminary report on the use of iodoxyquinolin sulphonic acid. In this article we stated that the drug promised to be a very valuable aid in the treatment of amebiasis. We are now able to give further observations on six of the original eight cases and to report results in fifty-six additional cases. In these cases the same method has been followed. From one to three years has elapsed since the completion of treatment.REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE  Iodoxyquinolin sulphonic acid was introduced into the treatment of amebiasis by Mühlens and Menk5 and reported by them in 1921.
