Experience with intravenous antimony injections for malaria and relapsing fever
In Nos. 3-4 of the "Medical Gazette" of 1923, there is a short report of Prof. Yakimov and doc. Solovtsova about attempts of treatment of relapsing typhus by intravenous injections of antimony. The authors used as a preparation 1% solution of double salt of tartaric potassium and antimony (tartar emeticus), which was injected at first 4 cc, and then 18 cc. pro dosi. The injections led to a drop in temperature, but did not prevent seizures. The authors are inclined to attribute the indicated incomplete effect to an insufficient dose and recommend further observation in this direction. In view of the above, I will allow myself to share the experience that I have about intravenous application of stibio-kalii tartarici solutions both for relapsing fever and for malaria.
