Children with symptomatic malaria in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau were randomly assigned to treatment with a 25 mg/kg total dose of chloroquine as recommended by the National Malaria Program or with a higher total dose of 50 mg/kg. Sixty-seven and 62 children, respectively, completed the treatment and were
Chloroquine (CQ), a bitter tasting drug widely used in treatment of malaria, is associated gastrointestinal side effects including nausea or diarrhea. In the present study, we investigated the effect of CQ on electrolyte transport in rat ileum using the Ussing chamber technique. The results showed
Chloroquine represents at least a basic prototype antimalarial drug, widely applied in several branches of medicine and also recently against a new zoonotic origin coronavirus. At present, there is little awareness of chloroquine's psychiatric side effects, which appear to be overlooked by the
Autophagy (or autophagocytosis) is an essential and precise control process by which cells degrade unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components or organelles in the cytoplasm in response to nutrient depletion, exogenous pathogens, or other stimuli. This process results in the removal of damaged
Cellular mechanisms of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) entry in MDBK cells were investigated. Chloroquine, bafilomycin A1, or ammonium chloride inhibited BVDV infection, indicating that an acidic endosomal pH is required for BVDV entry. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein partially inhibited
Although mechanisms of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) entry into bovine cells have been elucidated, little is known concerning pestivirus entry and receptor usage in ovine cells. In this study, we determined the entry mechanisms of BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 in sheep fetal thymus cells. Both BVDV-1 and
Chloroquine is the drug very frequently used for the treatment of malaria. It is also used in amebiasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and various dermatological conditions. Chloroquine can cause muscle problems, loss of appetite, and diarrhea as a side effect. Cutaneous toxicity includes pruritus, hair
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important pathogen of cattle that plays a complex role in disease. There are two biotypes of BVDV: non-cytopathic (NCP) and cytopathic (CP). One strategy that has been used to treat or prevent virus-associated diseases is the modulation of autophagy, which is
Introduction: While chloroquine, a derivative of quinine, has been used as an antimalarial for 70 years, hydroxychloroquine is now used to treat conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. In 2020,
Shigella toxin interacts with HeLa cells by binding to a glycoprotein cell surface receptor and, after a lag period, inactivates the 60S ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein synthesis. The lag period may be due to energy-dependent translocation of the toxin to the interior of the cells. This step
Serositis is commonly seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Approximately 16% of patients with SLE have pleural or pericardial involvement. However, peritoneal involvement is extremely rare, and clinically seen in a small group of patients. This is the case report of a 47-year old female with
Background: The objectives of this study were (1) to compare the efficacy of Lariam (mefloquine) with that of Fansimef (mefloquine, sulfadoxine, and pyrimethamine), Fansidar (sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine), chloroquine, and placebo in suppressing asexual parasitemia in semi-immune persons living in
The itinerary of international travelers will largely determine the amount of pretravel counseling, number of immunizations and type of malaria prophylaxis they will need. The countries visited are also the best predictor of traveler's diarrhea. Only yellow fever and cholera vaccines are required
Clindamycin, 5 mg/kg twice a day for 5 days, was used to treat falciparum malaria after clinical and parasitological diagnosis at a health station in Faki Hashim, a suburb of Khartoum, Sudan. Twenty out of twenty-six patients enrolled completed the study. Giemsa-stained thick blood films were
One third of persons who travel abroad experience a travel-related illness, usually diarrhea or an upper respiratory infection. The risk of travelers' diarrhea can be reduced by eating only freshly prepared, hot foods. Combination therapy with a single dose of ofloxacin plus loperamide usually
