AB  - The  sulfonamide  drugs  were  the  first  effective  chemotherapeutic  agents  to  be  employed  systemically  for  the  prevention  and  cure  of  bacterial  infections  in  humans.  The  considerable  medical  and  public  health  importance  of  their  discovery  and  their  subsequent  widespread  use  was  quickly  reflected  in  the  sharp  decline  in  morbidity  and  mortality  figures  for  treatable  infectious  diseases.  The  advent  of  penicillin  and  subsequently  of  other  antibiotics  has  diminished  the  usefulness  of  the  sulfonamides,  and  they  presently  occupy  a  relatively  small  place  in  the  therapeutic  armamentarium  of  the  physician.  However,  the  introduction  in  the  mid-1970s  of  the  combination  of  trimethoprim  and  sulfamethoxazole  has  increased  the  use  of  sulfonamides  for  the  prophylaxis  and  treatment  of  specific  microbial  infections.
