We report a patient who developed sulphasalazine-related hepatitis with a subsequent adverse reaction to rectal 5-amino salicylic acid, in the form of pain and fever without associated liver dysfunction, suggesting reactions to both components of sulphasalazine. Included is a review of the
A 36-year-old woman, hospitalized because of an exacerbation of psoriasis, developed fever, sudden deafness and severe metabolic acidosis after treatment with a 10% salicylic acid containing ointment for four days. The use of salicylic acid on large areas of inflamed skin enhances the risk of
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an illness characterized by vascular inflammation of coronary arteries leading to coronary aneurysms and thromboses. Infiltration of immune cells into the intima and adventitia are observed in autopsy tissues of patients with KD. Using semi-quantitative RT-PCR and cell-based
Salicylic acid (SA) is the major metabolite and active ingredient of aspirin; both compounds reduce pain, fever, and inflammation. Despite over a century of research, aspirin/SA's mechanism(s) of action is still only partially understood. Here we report the results of a genome-wide, high-throughput
Neutrophil, monocyte and lymphocyte chemotaxis was investigated in 19 patients with active rheumatic fever (10 with carditis), in 15 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in 20 healthy, age-matched controls. Chemotaxis assays were repeated in the rheumatic fever patients on the fifth day of therapy
After making the diagnosis the rheumatic fever as a secondary disease after streptococcal infection is immediately to be treated with penicillin G. Parallel to this or overlapping the rheumatic inflammatory mesenchymal tissue reactions are treated with prednisolone or derivatives, aminophenazone or
The methyl and some other esters of acetylsalicylic and salicylic acids and their derivatives were found to have much lower gastric ulcerogenic activity (when assayed in the stress-sensitized rat) compared with their corresponding acids. There was little or no loss in therapeutic potencies of these
We investigated the effects of co-enzyme Q10 (Q10) and acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) on expression of Hsp70 in the protection of primary chicken myocardial cells during heat stress. Western blot analysis showed that Q10 and ASA accelerated the induction of Hsp70 when chicken myocardial cells were
