Chemotherapeutic compounds and Acanthamoebae from eye infections.

Some nitrogen and sulfur containing compounds as chemotherapeutic agents.

Boron-containing compounds as preventive and chemotherapeutic agents for cancer.

In the last few years boron (B) compounds became increasingly frequent in the chemotherapy of some forms of cancer with high malignancy and of inoperable cancers. As more B-based therapy chemicals are developed it is necessary to review the correlation between B and the incidence of different forms of cancer, the biochemical and molecular mechanisms influenced by B and to explore the relevance ...

Fungal infections in neutropenia: current problems and chemotherapeutic control.

Invasive fungal infection is a significant problem in neutropenic individuals. The commonest causes of infection are Aspergillus and Candida spp., although a growing number of other organisms (including species of Fusarium and Trichosporon) have been implicated. The clinical manifestations of these infections are described here, and diagnostic problems are discussed. The role of lipid-based for...

Parachlamydia acanthamoebae and Its Zoonotic Risk

Parachlamydia acanthamoebae has been implicated as an emerging agent of pneumonia in humans. Recently, it has been linked to miscarriage and neonatal infections. In contrast, its role in atherosclerosis remains controversial. In animals, there is strong evidence for Parachlamydia as a new abortigenic in cattle, and further data on this agent in other animal species is accumulating. New diagnost...
