Alpinia laosensis Gagnep. is a specific plant of Laos, but it also grows in some districts of Vietnamese – Laos frontier. The different components of rhizome of Alpinia laosensis Gagnep. was extracted in order of the solvents: The ether petroleum, the ethylacetate and the methanol. The antifungal compound 3-(p-acetylphenyl) – 3-methylcarboxyl – 1-propen was isolated from residue of the ether petroleum by method bioassay – guided

This study emulates the findings of a study by Zaidi et al. in Pakistan in which the authors reported the similar success story (2). Similar success has been reported in a randomized trial in Africa that found treatment of pneumonia in the neonate by either oral penicillin or procaine benzylpenicillin and gentamycin to be as equally effective (3). The author is confident that this method of combining of both inpatient and outpatient administration of antibiotics for neonatal sepsis will be successful in our local setting due to high quality medical care that is offered by both government and private medical facilities here with many health clinics supporting the local hospitals.

Drug's quality on the market must conform to standards of manufacturer based on Vietnamese Pharmacopoeia III. This report deals with standard about dissolubility of some antibiotic pill products of Pharmaceutical Factory X circulating on the market, such as amoxiciline, penicilline, cloramphenicol, ciprifloxacine, .... (10 types) by Dissolution test method, showed that there were 9 products (90%) attained standards Vietnamese Pharmacopoeia III. This is a impressed result of Vietnamese Pharmaceutical Industry in enhancing drug's quality

Antibiotic use must carefully and must exactly consider according to indication and combined exactly method and disease. To against antibiotic resistance, urgent methods is needed such as drugs used exactly disease, sufficient dose and enough time. For physicians, should careful if prescribe antibiotic, don't use new drug if older drug still effective, review antibiotic resistance to choose exactly, preservation obey exact standards, limited using antibiotic for cattle and poultry

Objectives: The purpose of this prospective case series was to describe the difference in cure rates between a 6-month and a 9-month anti-tuberculous treatment regimen in patients with newly diagnosed tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis. Methods: Thirty-eight consecutive participants were enrolled in the study. Thirty participants were ultimately analyzed at the end of six months, nine months, and 12 months using serial neck ultrasound to assess for the presence of lymphadenopathy. At the end of six months, participants with residual lymphadenopathy larger than 1 cm extended treatment to complete nine months of treatment. Results: Among the 30 participants who completed 6-month treatment, 63.3% (n=19) were cured while 36.7% (n=11) had residual lymphadenopathy and extended to 9-month treatment. At the end of 9-month treatment, 36.4% (n=4) were cured while 63.6% (n=7) had persistent lymphadenopathy greater than 1 cm on ultrasound. At 12 months, 15.8% (n=3) of those treated for six months and 45.5% (n=5) of those treated for nine months had recurrent/residual lymphadenopathy. There were no significant differences between cure rates for age, sex, concomitant pulmonary tuberculosis, the number of nodes, skin changes, TB-PCR results, and presence of paradoxical reaction whether at six or at 12 months. Conclusion Due to the low cure rates in this study, there was not enough evidence to support current recommendations of a 6-month treatment period for tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis or to claim its effectiveness over a longer treatment duration.

For infections in infants and children, the successful antibiotic treatment depends primarily on rapid diagnosis of the disease, identification of pathogenic microorganisms, and appropriate application of specialized pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic knowledge of antibiotics in children. In infants and children, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs may differ considerably in comparison with adults. Because of known toxicity, certain drugs such as chloramphenicol in high doses, the sulfonamides, and tetracycline should not be used in neonates. In this article, we describe these peculiarities of children and discuss the proper use of antibiotics in children.

Antibiotic resistance is uncommon in paediatric community acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Malaysia. However, with the increased use of antibiotics, there is a risk of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumonia (PRSP) pneumonia which results in antibiotic treatment failure. We report here a case of CAP complicated by empyema, caused by PRSP, which presented as acute respiratory distress in a 19-month-old boy.
