azathioprine and Mycoses

azathioprine has been researched along with Mycoses in 20 studies

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.

Mycoses: Diseases caused by FUNGI.

"Pulmonary infections were less common in cyclosporine-treated renal patients than in Aza-treated patients (P less than 0."2.65Early infections in kidney, heart, and liver transplant recipients on cyclosporine. ( Dummer, JS; Hardy, A; Ho, M; Poorsattar, A, 1983)
"Patterns of infection are recognized, and this should enable the physician to plan a meaningful course of action when infection occurs in the compromised host."1.25Infections in the immunosuppressed patient. ( O'Loughlin, JM, 1975)
"Azathioprine was best tolerated, but gave only medium results whereas procarbazine, as a very potent drug, had the highest rate of side effects (especially depression of bone marrow, infections, gastrointestinal manifestations etc."1.25[Side effects in immunosuppressive therapy]. ( Thumb, N, 1975)
