sulfasalazine has been researched along with Infection in 3 studies
Sulfasalazine: A drug that is used in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases. Its activity is generally considered to lie in its metabolic breakdown product, 5-aminosalicylic acid (see MESALAMINE) released in the colon. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p907)
sulfasalazine : An azobenzene consisting of diphenyldiazene having a carboxy substituent at the 4-position, a hydroxy substituent at the 3-position and a 2-pyridylaminosulphonyl substituent at the 4'-position.

The Harvey-Bradshaw Index of Crohn's Disease Acitivity was evaluated at each study visit. The Harvey-Bradshaw Index evaluates participants' general health in the day prior in the domains of well being, abdominal pain, number of liquid stools per day, and abdominal mass and complications and was evaluated on the day of the study visit. The score is derived from a 0-4 score for general well being, 0-3 for abdmonial pain, raw score for number of liquid stools per day, 0-3 for abdominal mass, and raw score for complications. The total score is from 0 to infinity, with lower scores indicating better outcomes. (NCT00705614)
