Forty-five volunteers infected with P. vivax malaria were treated with sulfonamides, a sulfone, and trimethoprim. Sulfalene, sulformethoxine, and diaminodiphenylsulfone were inadequate antimalarial agents when used alone. Trimethoprim was very effective, but required daily doses for five days to effect consistent cures (in seven of eight volunteers). The combination of sulfalene and trimethoprim was also very effective, requiring three doses for cure of bloodinduced P. vivax malaria.
