Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the dermis, a thick inner layer of skin. Cellulitis symptoms include redness, inflammation, and fever. If you don't take antibiotics for cellulitis treatment, you may experience complications, including a cellulitis abscess or perianal cellulitis, an infection around the anus. In rare cases, complications can be very severe, leading to necrotizing fasciitis, septicemia, and other life-threatening infections.  Learn more about cellulitis complications, including how to recognize symptoms and treatment options to avoid serious illness. Vadym Plysiuk / Getty Images Cellulitis Symptoms Cellulitis occurs when bacteria enter the middle layer of skin, known as the dermis. Soon after an infection takes hold, you'll notice cellulitis symptoms, including: A red and inflamed area on the skin Skin that is warmer than normal to the touch Skin that's painful to touch Red lines coming to and...

What Is Albenza? Albenza ( albendazole ) is a prescription medication used to treat tapeworm infections. It's a benzimidazole anthelmintic that works by causing the parasitic tapeworms to have low glucose (sugar). Without glucose, the tapeworms don't have enough energy for critical bodily functions. As a result, they eventually die. Albenza is available in a tablet dosage form. Drug Facts Generic Name : Albendazole Brand Name(s) : Albenza Drug Availability : Prescription Therapeutic Classification : Benzimidazole anthelmintic Available Generically : Yes Controlled Substance : No Administration Route : Oral (by mouth) Active Ingredient : Albendazole Dosage Form(s) : Tablet What Is Albenza Used For?

Abstract This study aimed to identify the mortality present in private fish farm Amyloodinium ocellatum and Cryptocaryon irritans were isolated from this outbreak affecting Liza carinata fingerlings at an earthen-based aquaculture facility in Damietta , Egypt. A total of 140 moribunds, L. carinata, were collected from the fish ponds during the mortality events. Physico-chemical analysis of water was analyzed. The skin, fins, gills, and eyes of each fish specimen were scraped gently onto slides in areas over 2 cm area. All smears were examined separately under the light microscope. Molecular identification of the parasites using analysis of ITS rDNA regions flanking both 18S and 28S rDNA genes of Amyloodinium protozoa and C. irritans . Identities of the detected parasites were confirmed by gene sequence and phylogenetic analysis. The majority of the examined fish (90%) were infected, 66.42% had a mixed infection, and 23.57% had a single infection either with A. ocellatum ...
