Moxifloxacin in tb
Common Questions and Answers about Moxifloxacin in tb
avelox
I have tested negative for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, TB and mycloplasma. Symptoms first occured around 3 weeks after having unprotected sex with a female.
Symptoms:
Pain/stinging when urinating
Itchy / Inflamed tip of penis
Creamy white discharge from penis (NOT from under the foreskin but from the 'hole' especially in the mornings)
(No swollen lymph nodes, testicles are not swollen or painful)
Treatment failures so far (in order)
1. Doxycycline - 7 day course
2.
doxycycline, azithromycin and moxifloxacin. The first two failed to clear my infection and now I have two days that I finished the moxifloxacin 400 mg( 10 days treatment) clearing my symptoms. My question is, Is it possible for the bacteria to reoccur after the moxifloxacin treatment? And if yes what other option are there?
A recent study was done to show that Myco was only erradicated by 85% of those on the Azithro regiment described, however Avelox ( Moxifloxacin) killed Myco in all cases. Routine is to try described Azithro regimen first and if symtoms still exist Moxifloxacin. Why? I guess so that Myco doesn't become Moxifloxacin resistant. Save the bugs, kill the patient kind of thing. I say take the 400mg a day X 10 day regiment of Moxifloxacin and help yourself.
Hi,
the montouxs test has failry indicated that you have active TB and therefore need therapy. Even in the absence of cough and low grade fever, which is common in TB, a diagnosis and treatment can be made.
You should try and keep your child away as the child is at severe risk of getting TB by close contact.
I hope you understand. let me know if you need more help.
Cure rates with moxifloxacin are 100% According to some info
I’ve found, and is used after Doxy and az. So id press to get moxifloxacin. moxifloxacin 400 mg daily for 7 to 14 days is the preferred antibiotic regimen.
now only left moxifloxacin hasnt try, seems to be last resort. this bacteria already bothered me for 6 months, really want to get rid of it.
7 months back I was treated for Chlamydia, it took multiple rounds of antibiotics to treat as I still had discharge, eventually it went away (Doxy & Zithro extended courses). 3 months ago I got Chlamydia again, I was treated w/ same extended round & STD tests came back clean. I still have pain currently & it's best to describe as radiating from inside the groin area, extends to my immediate inner thighs, center lower back, through my testis & urethra.
after one has TB, there can be permanent lung damage, even with good healing, that results in a condition, usually localized in the lung, called bronchiectasis. This lung disease can cause bleeding, even in the absence of recurrent TB infection.
Your doctor’s approach to this incident, should be to rule-out recurrent TB with the X-ray and sputum exam and then do whatever diagnostic testing is necessary to determine the source of the blood.
Along with thyroid gland, one of my lymph nodes was also removed since it was swollen. In the biopsy of removed lymph node in the neck, the doctor detected TB in that node. Following the report, a general physician started a 6-month TB course for me. It started in December last year with 5 tablets of Akurit-4. Two months later, Akurit was stopped and the doctor prescribed RCINEX 600 once a day. Ten days after starting RCINEX 600, I got fever.
t offer at the time and this test confirmed i have mycoplasma gen. He also took a swab to develop in the lab and he said moxifloxacin 400mg was fast effective to the bacteria but there was a part of the bacteria that was resistant. He still gave me a 20 day course and its been a week since i've finished it and yes the infection is still there. My symptoms is not as bad as some other sufferers, slight discharge in the mornings and tingles around the tip but not as much as before.
I would assume my symptoms should be cleared up right after the treatment, right? Anyone have success getting any other medications in the USA? Or going to Europe and getting any? I’m just not sure the next step since American doctors don’t want to try anything new. They go by CDC recommendations. I need someone to think outside the box here. Any advice?
I am also a latent TB so I completely understand your concerns. I am interested in what MS DMD requires you to be cleared of TB? I had to have testing before comencing TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis & of course I will always show positive. However I had biopsies taken from my lower & mid lungs where the TB was showing on my chest X-rays so they could grow culture to see if I actually had active TB or not before comencing treatment.
There is a TB vaccine that is used in many other countries, but is not used in the US because the risk of getting TB isn't high enough(yet).
Unfortunately, I am not surprised at all that this is happening, as we way over prescribe anti-biotics and many other drugs to people who don't need them, creating these super bugs that are resistant to most all medications. Also many people who get anti-biotics, but never finish the full course of the pills, create many more problems.
Hi, I’m very upset right now and don’t know where to turn to. As a child I got TB of the lymph node and it was treated. Now I am 30 years old. However recently at my work there was HIV testing and they were handing out pamphlets which mentioned opportunistic infections and TB aka tuberculosis was on the list. Apparently if you have that it means you have AIDS. Since I had it as a kid I was so shocked. I have tested negative for HIV, my only exposure was French/deep kissing a guy.
There are a couple other antibiotics that can be prescribed if NGU is persistent, Erythromycine or Moxifloxacin. However, I would only use Moxifloxacin as a last resort, as it can have some very harsh and lasting side effects. In addition, if it's fungal related (Trich) they can also treat you with an alternative regimen of metronizadole.
Return to your doctor and discuss persistent NGU with him and CDC guidelines for testing and treating:
http://www.cdc.
I am not aware about his CD4 count or viral load. He stays in a small village in India and under treatment of the doctors of Government Hospital and takes medicines for HIV (subsidised by government) prescribed by them.
Last month he was hospitalised due to severe fever and weakness and dignosed with Intestinal TB. He also has chronic piles. He has also lost cosiderable weight (50%).
I had similar issues as you back in September. After countless amounts of antibiotics, 2 weeks of Moxifloxacin finally did the trick for me. Best of luck.
Levo can cause treatment failure and end up in flouroquinlone resistance — making Moxifloxacin useless and resulting in an untreatable infection.
