[ 1 ] - Evaluation of Hepatoprotective Effect of Silymarin Among Under Treatment Tuberculosis Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Hepatic toxicity is the most serious adverse effect of anti tuberculosis drugs. This study was performed to evaluate efficacy of silymarin as a hepatoprotective herbal agent. In a randomized double blind clinical trial 70 new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were divided into two groups. The intervention group was assigned to receive silymarin and the control group received placebo. Tuberculosis...

[ 3 ] - Simultaneous Determination of Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide and Rifampin in Human Plasma by High-performance Liquid Chromatography and UV Detection
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) of first-line anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs is a decisive tool, allowing the clinician to successfully treat TB patients. The objective of the study was to develop and optimize a simple, sensitive, and reliable high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the simultaneous determination of isoniazid (INH), pyrazinamide (PZA), and rifampin (RIF) levels...

[ 5 ] - Thoracic CT Scan Findings in Patients with HIV/TB co-infection before and after treatment
Background and Aim: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) infection is common in patients infected with the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this study, we evaluated thoracic CT scan findings of HIV/TB co-infection, before and after anti-TB treatment. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, pre-and post-treatment thoracic CT scans of patients diagnosed with HIV and defin...
