Diabetes is a systemic inflammatory condition. The modulation of cytokine levels caused by Asymptomatic Bacteriuria (ASB) infection can lead to altered inflammatory status in various tissues and may affect their homeostasis and function. We aim to estimate the cytokine (IL-6, TNF-α and IL-10) levels in serum of diabetic individuals with and without...

Background: As per the World Health Organization, Cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) has been approved as a rapid molecular diagnostic test for detection of tuberculosis, rifampicin resistance and smear examination is the readily available source for detection of pulmonary tuberculosis. Aim: In this present study, the smear po...

Introduction: Arginine is an amino acid that has several positive effects on human health and peanut seeds are the richest source of it. Peanuts are the store houses loaded with proteins, fatty acids, vitamins, fiber and other phytochemicals. It has been shown that the intake of arginine at the concentration of 3-6 g/day has been found to improve t...

Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, have been treated with honey and...

Background: Wounds are still major problem in developing countries, and may impose severe complications and high cost for therapy. Hence, wound management still remains an important focus of researches. Plastic catheters coated with SNPs prevent biofilm formation. Papaya possesses antibacterial activity which might prevent the multiplication of wou...

Introduction: Antimicrobial agents are essentially important in reducing the global burden of infectious diseases. With the irrational and excessive use of antibiotics in underdeveloped and developing countries, there may be chances to develop and spread resistant pathogens in the community. As a result, the effectiveness of the antibiotics is dim...

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a superbug has been recognized as one of the major pathogens in hospitals as well as community settings. The prevalence of MRSA is 30–70% and many studies have suggested an alarming rate of infections caused by this organism. In spite of modern diagnostic procedures and technological a...

This study was conducted on 77 Libyan infants and children aged month to 10 years with acute bacterial meningitis. Upon admission, the patients were divided randomly in two groups. Group I (38 patients) received ceftriaxone plus dexamethasone I.V. Group II (39 patients) received ceftriaxone alone. Both groups were compared for mean changes in CSF s...

This study characterised the levels of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG), cerebrospinal fluid IgG (CSF IgG) and IgG index as an aid to the diagnosis and prognosis of acute bacterial meningitis (ABM). A total of 28 patients with proven ABM at admission (age range: one month to 10 years; 17 males, 11 females) (group A) and 17 age- and sex-matched control...

During a 14-month period, 77 children (excluding neonates) with bacterial meningitis were studied. The causative organisms were identified in 60 children: Haemophilus influenzae in 26 (34%), Streptococcus pneumoniae in 20 (26%), Gram-negative enteric bacilli in nine (12%) and beta-haemolytic streptococci group A in one. No organism was identified i...

Over a 14-month period, 77 children with a presumptive diagnosis of acute bacterial meningitis were investigated. The incidence of acute bacterial meningitis was 0.8%, with a case fatality rate of 13.0%. Children < 1 year of age were more affected (64.9%). The total male to female ratio was 1.2:1. Gram stain detected more cases (85.7%) than culture...

Ceftriaxone (RO 13-9904) has only recently been introduced in Benghazi and many parts of the word. We determined its in-vitro antibacterial activity against the primary aetiological agents of childhood meningitis in Benghazi, that included eighteen (23.3%) strains of H. influenzae, 17 (22.1%) of Str. pneumoniae and 1 (1.3%) of N. meningitidis isola...
