Treatment of Acute Malaria with Pyrimethamine

Abstract

BRITISH 253 and pulse rate 124. Procaine amide, 1 g., was injected intra- venously. Within five minutes the blood pressure became 65 and pulse fell to 90. The bleeding stopped. The operatioA was con- tinued uneventfully, there being only three swabs used, and the sucker was discontinued completely once the blood pressure had fallen to 65 mm. The blood pressure gradually rose to 75 mm. after 70 minutes, but no further bleeding occurred. The pulse was 92. On levelling, the blood pressure rose to 100 mm. Hg. Recovery was uneventful.
