acetone and Pneumocystis Infections

acetone has been researched along with Pneumocystis Infections in 1 studies

methyl ketone : A ketone of formula RC(=O)CH3 (R =/= H).

Pneumocystis Infections: Infections with species in the genus PNEUMOCYSTIS, a fungus causing interstitial plasma cell pneumonia (PNEUMONIA, PNEUMOCYSTIS) and other infections in humans and other MAMMALS. Immunocompromised patients, especially those with AIDS, are particularly susceptible to these infections. Extrapulmonary sites are rare but seen occasionally.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Bilobalide was inhibitory to trophozoites cultured on human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HEL 299) at approximately the same concentration as trimethoprim plus sulfamethoxazole (lowest effective concentration, 50 micrograms of bilobalide per ml versus 9/45 microgram of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole per ml), inducing microscopically detectable morphological changes in the cytoplasm of the parasite."1.29Activity of bilobalide, a sesquiterpene from Ginkgo biloba, on Pneumocystis carinii. ( Atzori, C; Bombardelli, E; Bruno, A; Chichino, G; Ghione, M; Scaglia, M, 1993)
