CAMPHORATED PHENOL IN ACUTE SUPPURATION

Effect of Nanosilver Gel, Chlorhexidine Gluconate, and Camphorated Phenol on Enterococcus faecalis Biofilm

Aim. To assess the effectiveness of nanosilver gel (NSG) in comparison to chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) and camphorated phenol (CP) against Enterococcus faecalis (E.f) biofilm. Methods and Materials. Two tests were done, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) analysis, to determine the effectiveness of NSG, CHX, and CP on E.f biofilm. Polystyrene ...

Intracranial Suppuration

Prevention of chronic experimental pyelonephritis by suppression of acute suppuration.

In order to evaluate the importance of suppuration, persistent infection, and scar formation in the evolution of Escherichia coli chronic pyelonephritis, we treated rats with different antibiotic regimens at different stages of the disease. The results show that (a) if acute suppurative pyelonephritis is aborted with early antibiotic therapy, chronic pyelonephritis is prevented; (b) chronic pye...

Acute Obstructive Suppuration of the Pancreatic Duct Causing Sepsis

INTRODUCTION Pancreatic abscess, necrosis, and pseudocyst are wellknown entities that can complicate pancreatitis and lead to pancreatic sepsis (Sarr et al., 2013; Deeb et al., 2008). Acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis is a common clinical entity. However, pancreatic duct (PD) obstruction and acute suppuration of the pancreatic duct (ASPD) leading to sepsis, without a concurrent pancreat...

Acute phenol poisoning.

Cases of phenol (C6 H.5 OH) poisoning were more frequent in the past than they are today. Approximately 50% of those reported have terminated fatally. An oral dose of 1 g. phenol may be lethal to man, although it has been recorded that patients have survived the ingestion of 65 g. (Kobert, 1906). The following cases have been reported: Severe acute intoxication occurred in a 3-year-old child, w...
