Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.

Dermatomycoses: Superficial infections of the skin or its appendages by any of various fungi.

Research Excerpts

" Warts (30%) had the larger incidence and were associated with azathioprine (P = 0."3.91Skin lesions in organ transplant recipients: a study of 177 consecutive Brazilian patients. ( Codarin, FR; Festa Neto, C; Oliveira, WRP; Silva, LLC; Souza, AAV; Tirico, MCCP, 2019)
" The prevalence of dermatomycoses was higher in the group of patients treated with azathioprine-cyclosporine-steroids and in those who had received their renal transplant in the previous 1-5 years."3.70Prevalence of superficial dermatomycoses in 73 renal transplant recipients. ( Bedani, PL; La Malfa, V; Strumia, R; Virgili, A; Zampino, MR, 1999)
"Analysis of the response to corticosteroid therapy in a personal series of 8 consecutive cases of dermatomyositis in childhood shows that there are advantages in a moderate dosage, short-term treatment schedule, with gradual tapering of the dosage as soon as there is clinical improvement without waiting for full remission, and in trying to stop steroid therapy within six months rather than following the more prolonged regimen currently still in vogue."1.26Treatment of dermatomyositis in childhood. ( Dubowitz, V, 1976)
