ABSTRACT
La eficacia de Triancinolona en el control de coccidiosis en pollos de engorde fue evaluada en un experimento completamente aleatorizado utilizando pollos sexados Cobb x Cobb de un día de edad. Fueron asignados los tratamientos T1: no medicado - no inoculado; T2: no mediacado - inoculado; T3: Triancinolona - inoculado; T4: Monensina sódica - inoculado y T5: Salinomicina sódica - inoculado. Las aves fueron inoculadas con 10.000 ooquistes de Eimeria tenella y 40.000 de Eimerias intestinales. Los resultados del grado de lesiones mostraron que T3 (60,6 por ciento) y T4 (63,6 por ciento)ejercieron mayor control de la coccidiosis al comparados con T5 (96,9 por ciento) y T2 (100 por ciento). El contaje de ooquistes/g de heces mostró mayor eficacia para T3 (4.300) al comparada con T4 (126.900); T5 (98.100) y T2 (382.000); permitiendo destacar su efectivo mecanismo de acción para interferir el ciclo biológico de las coccidias. La conversión de alimento fue mejorada (P<0,05) en los grupos medicados (T3, T4 y T5) en ralación a T2 destacando el efecto adverso que sobre la respuesta productiva es ocasionado por las coccidias. Triancinolona tuvo mayor eficacia de acción en el control de esta parasitosis.

A clinical case of Black Water Fever following Plasmodium falciparum infection is reported. The patient had no previous history of malaria and had not taken anti-malarials as prophylasis. He was free from G-6-PD deficiency and abnormal haemoglobins. He had acute intravascular haemolysis, haemoglobinurea and renal failure after the third dose of quinine infusion. His life was saved by peritoneal dialysis and Artemether injection. In in vitro test, his blood haemolysed suddenly in 36 hours when incubated with quinine (10 mg per lit) at 37 degrees C in test tube while control blood took over a week for natural slow haemolysis. Thus quinine plays an important part in the cause of Black Water Fever.

Seven sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistant Plasmodium falciparum infected patients and 2 patients with mixed (P. falciparum and P. vivax) infection were given Artemether. The results showed that Artemether is effective in sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistant malaria. The mean fever clearance time and parasite clearance time of patients treated with Artemether is shorter than those treated with chloroquine, quinine or sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine. In one patient with mixed infection all parasites disappeared but P. vivax reappeared on day 11 and on day 14 after two consecutive courses. In another P. vivax reappeared on day 21.
