dapsone and Encephalitis

dapsone has been researched along with Encephalitis in 13 studies

Encephalitis: Inflammation of the BRAIN due to infection, autoimmune processes, toxins, and other conditions. Viral infections (see ENCEPHALITIS, VIRAL) are a relatively frequent cause of this condition.

"To evaluate combined prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and toxoplasmic encephalitis, 533 patients with symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus infection and/or CD4 lymphocyte counts of < 200/microL were randomized to receive dapsone/pyrimethamine (200/75 mg once weekly) or aerosolized pentamidine (300 mg every 4 weeks)."9.08Once-weekly administration of dapsone/pyrimethamine vs. aerosolized pentamidine as combined prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and toxoplasmic encephalitis in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients.

( Bigé, N; Gallien, S; Gervais, A; Kitzis, MD; Leport, C; Longuet, P, 2009)
"Dapsone was more effective in the primary prophylaxis of toxoplasmic encephalitis, with six toxoplasmic encephalitis events occurring among those receiving aerosolized pentamidine, compared to none among those taking dapsone (p = 0."6.67Randomized trial of dapsone and aerosolized pentamidine for the prophylaxis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and toxoplasmic encephalitis.

"We assessed the incidence and determinants of bacteremia, pneumonia, and sinusitis/otitis in HIV-positive people receiving cotrimoxazole (CTX) or dapsone-pyrimethamine (DP) for primary prophylaxis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE) within a randomized clinical trial."5.09Incidence and determinants of bacterial infections in HIV-positive patients receiving anti-Pneumocystis carinii/Toxoplasma gondii primary prophylaxis within a randomized clinical trial.

"In a meta-analysis, we examined the efficacy of aerosolized pentamidine, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and dapsone or dapsone/pyrimethamine for the prevention of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and toxoplasma encephalitis in patients with HIV infection."4.79Meta-analysis of prophylactic treatments against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and toxoplasma encephalitis in HIV-infected patients.

( Barr, M; Carlo, C; Chanin, E; Gregory, G; Kiely, S; Martin, M; Thorn, M; Thornton, J; Torres, RA, 1993)
"The ME7 scrapie-infected mice thus showed a characteristic complex of neurological and behavioural changes during the course of the disease that were not ameliorated by dapsone."1.31Early behavioural changes in scrapie-affected mice and the influence of dapsone. ( Deacon, RM; Guenther, K; Perry, VH; Rawlins, JN, 2001)
" Overall results from these studies indicate patients who are eligible for PCP prophylaxis should be advised to take double-strength trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) on a daily basis, a dosage found more effective than thrice-weekly."1.30Optimizing PCP therapy. ( Cadman, J; Torres, G, 1997)
