چکیده
Hyperglycaemia and convulsions in patients taking nalidixic acid are usually associated with overdosage of the drug or an underlying epileptic tendency.' :1 Nalidixic acid may also interfere with biochemical determinations of plasma and urinary glucose, giving falsepositive results. We describe an otherwise healthy patient who had convulsions and hyperglycaemia (confirmed by a glucose-specific method4) while on a therapeutic dose of the drug.

The relationship between the chemical structure and epileptogenic activity of quinolones was investigated. When the quinolones were administered intravenously to mice concomitantly with oral biphenylacetic acid, a major metabolite of the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug fenbufen, enoxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and pipemidic acid, which have an unsubstituted piperazine moiety at the 7 p...

متن کاملبررسی میزان مقاومت به نالیدیکسیک اسید در سالمونلاهای تیفوئیدی و غیرتیفوئیدی جدا شده از بیماران بستری در یک دوره یکساله 85-1384
Background & Aim: Nalidixic acid is a quinolone antibiotic with excellent in vitro and in vivo activity against salmonella. It is often the first choice for treating drug resistance salmonella infections. Nalidixic acid resistance can often lead to resistance to fluoroquinolones such as ciprofloxacin. In this survey the extent of salmonella infections, the salmonella strains involved, antib...
متن کاملDrug-induced diabetes.
The only drugs which commonly cause diabetes during therapeutic use are the anti-hypertensive vasodilator diazoxide, and corticosteroids in high doses such as those used to palliate intracranial tumours. Thiazide diuretics have in the past been used in higher doses than necessary to treat hypertension, and the lower doses now used probably carry only a slight risk of inducing diabetes. The risk...
