ABSTRACT

Superficial mycoses of the skin are among the most common dermatological infections, and causative organisms include dermatophytic, yeasts, and non-dermatophytic filamentous fungi. The treatment is limited, for many reasons, and new drugs are necessary. Numerous essential oils have been tested for both in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity and some pose much potential as antifungal agents. By using disk diffusion assay, we evaluated the antifungal activity of lemongrass oil and citral against yeasts of Candida species (Candida albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis and C. tropicalis). This study showed that lemongrass oil and citral have a potent in vitro activity against Candida spp.

ABSTRACT

O objeto de estudo foi apurar diferenças entre o comportamento de farmacêuticos e balconistas quando um paciente recorre a estes estabelecimentos buscando informaçöes sobre o uso de medicamentos. O levantamento de dados foi realizado por um estudante que chegava às farmácias relatando um caso de diarréia e solicitando orientaçäo. 95% dos farmacêuticos e todos os balconistas prescreveram medicamentos sem indicar a procura de orientaçäo médica. As perguntas realizadas pelos mesmos, bem como as classes terapêuticas "prescritas" säo mostradas. Essencialmente nenhuma diferença foi encontrada entre o comportamento de farmacêuticos e balconistas
