Published: July 2004

After 10 days of minocycline therapy, stomatitis, glossitis and esophagitis were seen in a 62-year-old male patient, who had previously tolerated minocycline for > 20 years without complications. This typical side effect of minocycline was initially misinterpreted in the differential diagnosis and was only diagnosed, when the patient was reexposed to a new 7-day minocycline therapy. Healing was achieved by termination of the minocycline therapy and the initiation of antimycotic treatment.

Background: Studies suggest a potential link between stroke and Alzheimer's disease wherein stroke may serve as a trigger for the onset or acceleration of Alzheimer's pathogenesis as damage to the brain's blood vessels may lead to the accumulation of amyloid beta protein which is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Recent research has shown that stroke treatment may hold the key to treating Alzheimer's disease. The anti-inflammatory potentials of Cholinergic signaling are a novel therapeutic target in memory decline associated with Alzheimer's.
