Abstract:
This report describes a 43-year-old housewife who suffered a burn and then was suspected of having a sensitivity reaction to Flamazine cream (1 per cent silver sulphadiazine). Patch testing subsequently showed she was sensitive to silver and to cetyl alcohol, but to no other constituents of Flamazine cream. The patient herself knew she was sensitive to silver but was never asked about this possibility, or told initially that Flamazine cream contained silver.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a severe tick-borne illness caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a Gram-negative, coccobacillary bacterium. This pathogen is an obligate intracellular parasite, requiring a host cell for replication. Transmission occurs through the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, the most important vectors are Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick) and Dermacentor andersoni (Rocky Mountain wood tick), though other tick species may also serve as vectors.

Leishmaniasis is a widespread parasitic disease caused by several Leishmania species. It affects millions of people each year and remains a major public health problem in endemic regions. First-line treatment relies on pentavalent antimonials, including meglumine antimoniate and sodium stibogluconate. Even so, how these drugs work has not been fully clear, especially their interaction with parasite-specific biochemical pathways. One key target is trypanothione reductase (TR), an enzyme that...
