Nitroimidazoles (metronidazole and tinidazole) are the only recommended drugs for treating Trichomonas vaginalis infection, and previous samples that assessed resistance of such isolates have been limited in geographic scope. We assessed the prevalence of in vitro aerobic metronidazole and tinidazole resistance among T. vaginalis isolates from multiple geographic sites in the United States. Swa...

A validated, reliable and accurate reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method using pre-column derivatization was adopted for the simultaneous determination of two ternary mixtures containing omeprazole, tinidazole and doxycycline hyclate or clarithromycin. Separation was achieved on a C18 column, through a gradient elution system using acetonitrile-methanol-water adjusted to...

PURPOSE This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of tinidazole in subjects of five different Chinese nationalities (Han, Mongolian, Korean, Hui, and Uighur). METHODS Fifty healthy subjects (five male and five female of each nationality) were recruited for the study, and each received 1 g tinidazole. A total of 14 blood samples were collected over a 72-hour period after administration. R...

A simple reverse phase liquid chromatographic method has been developed and subsequently validated for simultaneous determination of tinidazole and diloxanide furoate. The separation was carried out using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile, methanol and 0.2 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 5) in the ratio 2:3:2.The column used was SS Wakosil-II C-18 with a flow rate of 1 ml/min and U...

A randomized controlled trial was carried out to study the efficacy of combined albendazole and praziquantel in the treatment of giardiasis in school-age children. Eighty-four children were randomly allocated to 3 groups: group 1 (n = 31) albendazole 400 mg combined with praziquantel 20 mg/kg; group 2 (n = 26) albendazole 800 mg as a single dose; group 3 (n = 27) tinidazole 50 mg/kg as a single...

A strain of Trichomonas vaginalis (IR-78), recently isolated from a patient afflicted with recurrent symptomatic trichomoniasis, showed resistance to metronidazole, tinidazole, and nimorazole in vitro as well as in vivo. In a serial dilution test using cysteine monohydrochloride-peptone-liver infusion-maltose medium, T. vaginalis IR-78 was only resistant under aerobic conditions. Under anaerobi...

Invasive amebic diseases caused by Entamoeba histolytica are increasing among men who have sex with men and co-infection of ameba and HIV-1 is an emerging problem in developed East Asian countries. To characterize the clinical and epidemiological features of invasive amebiasis in HIV-1 patients, the medical records of 170 co-infected cases were analyzed retrospectively, and E. histolytica genot...

New and selective Rlk and SA media, combined with cold enrichment at 4 to 5 degrees C, allowed isolation of Mobiluncus species from patients with bacterial vaginosis at higher rates than with conventional cultivation methods. Rlk medium consists of Columbia CNA agar supplemented with peptone, yeast extract, 5% laked rabbit or sheep blood, nalidixic acid, and tinidazole. SA medium consists of Co...

A 36-year-old woman with symptomatic metronidazole-resistant trichomonal vaginitis for 10 years had a total of 22 courses of treatment with either metronidazole or tinidazole according to different schedules. The minimum trichomonicidal concentration of metronidazole for the strain of Trichomonas vaginalis isolated from the patient was 160 microgram/ml compared with 1.25-10 microgram/ml for oth...
