The interest in the synthesis of metallic complexes of different drugs to make them moreefficient in biological environment of the human body is seen for the last few decades. Widerange of metal complexes are already used in clinical practice which encourages additionalresearch for innovating new metal based drugs, such as metal-mediated antibiotics, antiparasitic,antiviral, antibacterial, and ...

Introduction: Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) arising in extra-oral region in head and neck are rare, and when swellings arise from other sites such as infraorbital region, cheek, etc, tuberculosis is not usually considered for the differential diagnosis (DD) and often the diagnosis is missed and appropriate treatment is delayed. Case Report: We report a rare entity of pri...

tuberculosis is a major health problem in iran and its laryngeal involvement is not uncommon. laryngeal tuberculosis is so infectious and delay in diagnosis and treatment could result spread of disease and causes divesting complications. we reviewed clinical and para-clinical characteristics of patients with laryngeal tuberculosis in iran. in a cross sectional study, patients with laryngeal tub...

Magnesium is an essential metal that has important roles in physiological function of the body organs. Ethambutol is an oral antitubercular agent with chelating effects owing to its chemical structure. The aim of present study is to determine whether ethambutol usage can alter serum magnesium concentration in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Sixty patients with diagnosis of pulmonary tuber...

Keertan Dheda and colleagues (May 22, p 1798) report extremely poor treatment outcomes for patients with extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis in South Africa and conclude that prevention of XDR tuberculosis through strengthening of tuberculosis pro grammes overall should be prioritised. Most patients diagnosed with XDR tuberculosis in this cohort (72%) had previously been diagnosed wit...

Anti-adhesion therapy represents a potentially promising avenue for the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis in a post-antibiotic era. Adhesins are surface-exposed microbial structures or molecules that enable pathogenic organisms to adhere to host surfaces, a fundamental step towards host infection. Although several Mycobacterium tuberculosis adhesins have been identified, it is predicted ...

introduction mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (mtbc) are causative agents of human and animal tuberculosis.differentiation of mtbc members is required for appropriate treatment of individual patients and for epidemiologicalpurposes and reduction in drug resistances. material and methods 1345 patients were collected with clinical suspicions of tuberculosis who referred to the health care cente...
