The efficacy of azithromycin and pyrimethamine in experimental infection of mice with Toxoplasma gondii was tested. Daily dosages of 200mg/kg and 12.5mg/kg, respectively, were given orally over a period of ten days. The medications were administered in combination or separately. The combined use of the drugs yielded better results, and a similar investigation using a cystogenic strain of the parasite will be conducted in a future study.
