Paragonimiasis is a disease which is frequently misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis. In the areas where people eat crab/crayfish this disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis to avoid antituberculosis treatment for a non-tubercular condition. We are reporting a case of pulmonary paragonimiasis who had been treated for tuberculosis.

The beginnings of the hospital reach back to the discovery of a thermal spring in the sixteenth century, which became a public bath and eventually a spa in 1838. In 1919, the government of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes purchased the premises and converted the spa into a tuberculosis sanatorium. The institution prospered rapidly and began to expand. During its heyday, it included ar...

A survey of the pertinent literature reveals that aryl imidazoles have been found to possess a wide spectrum of biological activity such as antibacterial [1], antirheumatoid arthritis [2], antitubercular [3], antiviral [4], anti-inflammatory [5] and anticancer activities [6-8]. Specifically, it has been revealed from the literature that imidazoles fused with indole nucleus possess various biolo...

Between two World Wars the city of Rijeka was a port and industrial town whose infrastructure failed to provide adequate living conditions for numerous workers and their families. Insufficient organization of the health care system, poor living conditions-especially among the poor, low hygienic standards combined with a large number of transitory citizens made city and its citizens vulnerable t...

The burden of childhood tuberculosis remains poorly known in the world. The diagnosis is challenging because tuberculosis in children is generally bacteriologically negative. Recent studies have described diagnostic techniques involving molecular biology, advances in the standard treatment and new antituberculosis drugs, however, the diagnosis continues to be based on current clinical data, rad...

The properties of benzimidazole and its derivatives have been studied over more than one hundred years. Benzimidazole derivatives are useful intermediates/subunits for the development of molecules of pharmaceutical or biological interest. Substituted benzimidazole derivatives have found applications in diverse therapeutic areas such as antiulcer, anticancer agents, and anthelmintic species to n...

Due to the increasing emergence of drug resistant Tuberculosis (TB), particularly multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB), extensive-drug resistant TB (XDR-TB) and also the development of resistance in the micro-organisms against available drugs there is a need to develop new, potent, fast-acting antibacterial and antitubercular drugs with low toxicity. With this aim different extracts of Phaseolus vul...

Pyridazine and thiazole derivatives have various biological activities such as antimicrobial, analgesic, anticancer, anticonvulsant, antitubercular other anticipated properties. Chitosan can be used heterogeneous phase transfer basic biocatalyst in heterocyclic syntheses. Novel 1-thiazolyl-pyridazinedione were prepared via multicomponent synthesis under microwave irradiation ecofriendly energy ...

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a disease of abnormal activation the immune system, either due to familial cause or sporadic cause, in relation various triggering agents. Secondary HLH complication diseases, such as infections, malignancies, and autoimmune disorders. In our case series, we present three cases secondary with varied etiologies. Case 1 involved an 18-year-old male hist...
