Mohamad Goldust Shahla Babae Nejad Elham Rezaee Ramin Raghifar

Objective: Treatment of scabies is an important issue in infectious dermatology. The aim of this study was to specify whether permethrin is effective for the treatment of human scabies and to compare its effectiveness with that of 1% lindane by topical application. Methods: 220 patients with scabies with the mean age of 44 ± 12/24 attended the study. Patients were divided into two groups randomly. The first group and their family contacts received 5% permethrin cream and the other received 1% lindane lotion. Treatment was evaluated at intervals of 2 and 4 weeks. Results: Of 254 patients, 220 completed the study. 110 in the group treated with lindane and 110 in the group treated with permethrin. Permethrin provided an improvement rate of 92 (83.6%) after 2 weeks, whereas lindane was effective only in 54 (49%) of patients. After 4 weeks improvement rate was 96.3% (106 of 110) in permethrin group since it was only 69.1% (76 of 110) in lindane group. Conclusion: Permethrin (5%) cream was found to be significantly more effective in the treatment of scabies in comparison with lindane in this study. There were no adverse effects with either permethrin or lindane.

Investigation of Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern Among Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Patients Referred to Amir Al-Momenin Hospital, Gerash, Iran

Gene Cell and Tissue (2019)

Aliyar Pirouzi Hossain Foruozandeh Abbas Farahani Jebreil Shamseddin Hamideh Mohseni

Background: Antibiotic resistance is now considered as a global problem. Due to the increasing use of antibiotics, and subsequent increase in antibiotic resistance, treatment of bacterial infections has faced many difficulties. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the pattern of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from patients referred to the hospital during the years 2016 - 2018. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 2250 samples were taken from outpatient and hospitalized patients (inpatients) during three years (2016 - 2018). After collection, the specimens were cultured in blood agar and EMB media. One thousand six hundred and forty-two positive samples were obtained that from these, a number of 1067 specimens were recognized as E. coli. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined using a disk diffusion method on Mueller Hinton agar media for eight antibiotics. The result was evaluated based on the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Results: In this study, 1642 positive samples were diagnosed that the largest isolated strains were associated with E. coli (65%). About 241 samples belonged to men (22.6%) and 826 samples were isolated from women (77.4%). Based on the findings, most cases of resistance were related to co-trimoxazole with 52.6% and the highest sensitivity was related to nitrofurantoin with 81%. Conclusions: The results of this study indicated that the pattern of antimicrobial resistance is increasing and urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by E. coli isolates with a high rate of resistance still remains an important healthcare problem. Therefore, continuous evaluation of the pattern of resistance in different areas is necessary for promotion of antibacterial management.

Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health (2019)

Aliyar Pirouzi Mohammad Javad Mohammadi Ahmad Abdollahi Hamideh Mohseni Elham Rezaee

IntroductionThis research is aimed to determine the most common bacterial agents in septicemia of newborn babies. The blood infection is a clinical syndrome caused by invading microorganisms or their toxins into the blood.ObjectiveThis study was conducted in Abd al-Hamid Omidvar Hospital, Evaz, Iran, on 516 newborn babies and infants with an average age of eight months suspected to infection.MethodFollowed by collecting of blood samples and performing of microbial culture, evaluation of antibiotic sensitivity was performed by disc diffusion method on agar medium.ResultsAmong 516 samples of blood cultures, 20 samples (3.8%) of cultures were positive, of which 12 cases (3.9%) were boy and 8 cases (3.7%) were girl. Bacteria which cause blood infections include Staphylococcus epidermidis (30%), Klebsiella pneumonia (30%), Escherichia coli (25%), Enterobacter (10%) and Staphylococcus aureus (5%). The most sensitivity Gram positive and Gram negative strains were both to ciprofloxacin and the highest resistance of Gram negative strains was against cefixime and cephalexin, and the highest resistance of Gram positive strains was against tetracycline and oxacillin.Conclusionpaying attention to the prevalence of infection with Staphylococcus epidermidis in this study and similar studies, with correct use of antibiotics for treatment and observation of hygiene principles in pediatrics and neonatal wards can reduce mortality and morbidity caused by the disease.

Review of Molecular Approaches in Leishmaniasis Vaccines: Implications and Restrictions

International Journal of Infection (2022)

Ail Fattahi Bafghi Elham Rezaee Somayeh Ahmadi Mostafa Gholamrezaei Nima Firouzeh

: Leishmaniasis, a cosmopolitan parasitic infection, is a sandfly-borne parasitic disease caused by different species of Leishmania. Many attempts have been made to discover effective and safe vaccines against leishmaniasis, but most of them are not accompanied by promising results. During the last decade, the characterization of new antigens for potential vaccine candidates based on classical and molecular protocols has been a hot research topic in immunological science. The present review focuses on the development and the status of various vaccines and potential vaccine candidates against leishmaniasis. Here, molecular approaches to leishmaniasis vaccine development are described. Also, implications and restrictions are discussed.

Epidemiology of Urinary Tract Infection and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern in Patients Referred to Amiralmomenin Hospital of Gerash City in 2018

International Journal of Medical Laboratory (2020)

Elham Rezaee Seyed Adnan Kashfi Parisa Bagheri

Background and Aims: Urinary tract infections are one of the most common human infections seen in all age groups and both sexes. Inappropriate use of antibiotics to treat urinary tract infection causes the resistance of the pathogens to the drug. The present study aimed to determine the frequency of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and antibiotic resistance patterns in patients with urinary tract infection. Materials and Methods: Samples were cultured on Blood Agar and Eosin Methylene Blue. Colonieschr('39') growth was identified by biochemical tests and standard microbiological and antibiotic sensitivity tests, which were performed with the disc diffusion method according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute 2016 Standard. Results and Conclusion: The isolated bacteria showed the highest susceptibility to imipenem (89.66%) and meropenem (87.21%) and the highest resistance to sulfamethoxazole (50.00%) and nalidixic acid (44.09%). So, using imipenem is recommended as the most effective antibiotic for the treatment of infection.

Treatment of scabies: Comparison of permethrin 5% versus ivermectin

The Journal of Dermatology (2012)

Mohamad Goldust Elham Rezaee Sevil Hemayat

Abstract Scabies is an ectoparasitic, highly contagious skin disease caused by a mite called Sarcoptes scabiei . The insecticides ivermectin and permethrin are commonly used for treatment of scabies. This study aimed at comparing the efficacy of oral ivermectin with topical permethrin in treating scabies. Two hundred and forty‐two patients with scabies attending the dermatology outpatient department of Sina Hospital, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences were admitted. Patients were divided into two groups randomly. The first group and their family contacts received 5% permethrin cream and the other received oral ivermectin. Treatment was evaluated at intervals of 2 and 4 weeks. A single dose of ivermectin provided a cure rate of 85.9% at a 2‐week interval, which increased to 100% after crossing over to the permethrin group at a 4‐week interval. Twice application of permethrin with a 1‐week interval was effective in 92.5% of patients, which increased to 94.2% after crossing over to the ivermectin group at a 4‐week interval. Permethrin‐treated patients recovered earlier. Twice application of permethrin with a 1‐week interval is superior to a single dose of ivermectin. The temporal dissociation in clinical response suggests that ivermectin may not be effective against all the stages in the life cycle of the parasite.
