we report 11 year old male child, a case of acquired aplastic anemia as a complication of disseminated tuberculosis with acute onset, rapid downhill course and refractory to both antitubercular drugs as well as immunosuppressive drugs.

treatment of tuberculosis was an obstacle for ages. in spite of good drugs, the disease is not under control. thus, the need for more drugs existed. searching for a new drug demands much investment on the time, money and human resources. there are many drugs with antitubercular action that are discovered and explored in the last century. the most common drug, isoniazid, is now a frontrunner ant...

in the present study, quantitative relationships between molecular structure and anti-tubercular activity of some 5-methyl/trifluoromethoxy-1 h -indole-2,3-dione-3-thiosemicarbazone derivatives were discovered. the detailed application of an efficient linear method and principal component regression (pcr) for the evaluation of quantitative structure activity relationships of the studied compound...

Quaternized chlorpromazine, triflupromazine, and promethazine derivatives were synthesized and examined as antitubercular agents against both actively growing and non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Impressively, several compounds inhibited non-replicating M. tuberculosis at concentrations equal to or double their MICs against the actively growing strain. All active compounds were...

There has been considerable interest in the development of new anti tubercular agents particularly against multidrug resistance and extensively drug resistant strain of tuberculosis because mycobacterium species have developed resistant against currently used drugs. The currently use antitubercular drugs having toxic effect and long period of therapeutic treatment. Therefore, many researchers h...
