Background: The Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) is a serious adverse reaction that occurs weeks after the onset of drug exposure. DRESS syndrome is commonly associated with antiseizure drugs, sulfa drugs, and antibiotics.

Case Presentation: This was a case report of a 20-year-old female who suffered from DRESS due to vancomycin with symptoms similar to the Redman syndrome.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern that is exacerbated by the transmission of bacteria and genetic material between humans, animals and the environment. This study investigated AMR of Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from cats' feces and their drinking water.

Special Considerations in the Treatment of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

Curr Neurol Neurosci Rep

December 2024

Yellow Rose Headache and Neuro-Ophthalmology, 12740 Hillcrest Road, Suite 269, Dallas, TX, 75230, USA.

Purpose Of Review: To review the management of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) with co-existing conditions affecting therapy: obesity, sulfa allergy, nephrolithiasis, and pregnancy.

Recent Findings: The IIH-WT trial showed that bariatric surgery is currently the most effective method for obese patients with IIH to lose weight, leading to normalization of CSF pressure in many cases. Allergy to sulfonamide antibiotics does not preclude the use of acetazolamide; rather, penicillin allergy or multiple drug allergies are the strongest predictor of a hypersensitivity reaction.

Targeted delivery of a selenium-sulfa compound via cationic starch microparticles: Modulation of oxidative stress and pain pathways in fibromyalgia-like symptoms in mice.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

Laboratório de Pesquisa em Farmacologia Bioquímica (LaFarBio), Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel), Campus Capão do Leão, 96010-900 Pelotas, RS, Brazil. Electronic address:

Cationic starch microparticles (CStMPs) loaded with 4-amino-3 -(phenylselenyl)benzenesulfonamide (4-APSB) were prepared and investigated in a model of fibromyalgia (FM) induced by intermittent cold stress (ICS) in male and female Swiss mice. The CStMPs/4-APSB were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, zeta potential, and particle size measurements, providing information about their chemical composition, surface charge, morphology/microstructure, and size (1.50 ± 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Sulfamethazine (SM2) is a commonly found antibiotic in livestock manure, which creates health and environmental issues due to its longevity and promotion of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).
  • This study explored how black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) can degrade SM2 and reduce sulfonamide ARGs in contaminated chicken manure, using techniques like quantitative PCR and gene sequencing for analysis.
  • Results showed that BSFL tolerated high levels of SM2, decreasing its concentration by up to 92.22% and reducing ARGs significantly, suggesting that BSFL and certain microbial communities could be effective in addressing antibiotic pollution in agriculture.
