- ItemAneamia Following Artemisinin-Based Combination Treatments of Uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum Malaria in Children: Temporal Patterns of Heamatocrit and the Use of Uncomplicated Hyperparasitemia as a Model for Evaluating Late Appearing Anaemia.(Chemotherapy, 2017) Folarin, OnikepeBackground: In severe malaria, intravenous artesunate may cause delayed haemolytic anaemia but there has been little evaluation of the propensity of oral artemisinin-based combination treatments (ACTs) to cause late-appearing anaemia. Methods: The frequency of anaemia (haematocrit:total parasitaemia cleared, and mean haematocrit 5 weeks after treatment began were significantly lower in hyperparasitaemic children than in children without hyperparasitaemia, suggesting haematocrit conservation during treatment followed later by a loss of haematocrit. Asymptomatic late-appearing anaemia occurred in 6% of the children. Conclusion: Artesunate-amodiaquine and artemether-lumefantrine contribute to haematocrit conservation at high parasitaemias but may cause late-appearing anaemia.
- ItemANTIBIOTIC PROFILING OF DENTOGINGIVAL BACTERIAL FLORA OF PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS IN AGO IWOYE, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA(American Journal of Research Communication, 2013-01-01) Osho, Adelekehe dentogingival bacterial flora was determined using cultural method while the antibiotic susceptibility testing was carried out using agar disc diffusion techniques and interpreted as described by clinical laboratory standard institutes. Also, the levels of bacterial counts were determined on appropriate selective media prior to confirmation using biochemical test. Results obtained, showed on alarming trend of important dental caries pathogens in the following proportion Streptococcus sobrinus 22 (21.8%), Streptococcus oralis 22 (21.8%, Streptococcus mutans 26 (25.7%, Streptococcus mitis 17 (16.8%), Actinomyces, naeslundii 4 (3.96%) and Neisseria mucosa 10(9.9%). The antibiogram assay potrayed ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin as the most resisted by the isolated organisms while ampicillin was found to be the most efficacious. The levels of bacterial counts ranged from 1 X 103 to 3 X 104 cfulg of the food sediments examined. It can therefore, be concluded, that the studied population harbour arrays of dental caries agent in their mouth.
