Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To evaluate the potential risk of dissemination or reactivation of toxoplasmosis following the administration of immunosuppressive therapy we examined the effect of corticoids, azathioprine, and cyclosporine given alone or in combination on the course of murine acute and chronic toxoplasmic infection."3.69Effect of immunosuppressive drug regimens on acute and chronic murine toxoplasmosis. ( Derouin, F; Garin, YJ; Sumyuen, MH, 1996)
"Azathioprine (AZA) has been widely used for the treatment of various immune-related diseases and has become a mainstay in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease."1.62Azathioprine-induced toxoplasma gondii infection in a patient with Crohn's disease with NUDT15 variation: A case report.
