A survey of resistance to colchicine treatment for French patients with familial Mediterranean fever
BACKGROUND Colchicine is the standard treatment for familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), preventing attacks and inflammatory complications. True resistance is rare and yet not clearly defined. We evaluated physicians' definition of colchicine resistance and report how they manage it. PATIENTS AND METHODS We recruited patients with a clinical diagnosis of FMF, one exon-10 Mediterranean fever (M...
متن کاملReceptor-mediated endocytosis of biofilm-forming Enterococcus faecalis by rat peritoneal macrophages.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Enterococci are important nosocomial pathogens that are increasingly difficult to treat due to intrinsic and acquired resistance to antibiotics. Studies were taken up to identify virulence factors and to characterise pathogenic mechanisms of such infections to evaluate potential targets for treatments alternative to antibiotic therapy. This study was carried out to evalu...
متن کاملA study on the presence of some potential virulence genes and quinolone resistance in avian pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from chickens in Northeast of Iran
Background: Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), which is the causative agent of colibacillosis, harbors several putative virulence genes. An important trait of APEC for both poultry and public health is antibiotic resistance. Objectives: In the present study, some potential virulence genes of APECs isolated from Northeast of Iran and their resistance to the quinolones antibiotics were stu...
متن کاملCompliance to colchicine treatment and disease activity in Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) patients in Middle/Black Sea Region of Turkey (in Çorum region)
Background and question Colchicine is the gold standard treatment for prevention of inflammatory attacks and prevention of reactive amyloidosis in FMF. However, noncompliance to colchicine treatment is common among FMF patients. On the other hand, the disease may not be controlled in some patients despite use of full dose colchicine. In this study, we aimed to investigate the rates of disease c...
متن کاملFamilial Mediterranean Fever: Recent Developments in Pathogenesis and New Recommendations for Management
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease (AID) affecting mainly the ethnic groups originating from Mediterranean basin. The disease is characterized by self-limited inflammatory attacks of fever and polyserositis along with elevated acute phase reactants. FMF is inherited autosomal recessively; however, a significant proportion of heterozygotes al...
