Activity of Solanum lycopersicum against Candida Species Isolated from Retro-Positive Patients – An Invitro Study

According to the World Health Organization, a normal CD4 count is 500-1,500 cells/cm3 of blood, a CD4 count between 200-500 cells/cm3 is symbolic of HIV, and a CD4 count of fewer than 200 cells/cm3is a diagnosis of AIDS syndrome. Candida species, a commensal in the oral and gastrointestinal flora of...

Summary:According to the World Health Organization, a normal CD4 count is 500-1,500 cells/cm3 of blood, a CD4 count between 200-500 cells/cm3 is symbolic of HIV, and a CD4 count of fewer than 200 cells/cm3is a diagnosis of AIDS syndrome. Candida species, a commensal in the oral and gastrointestinal flora of healthy individuals, are the most usual cause of opportunistic fungal infections causing Oropharyngeal Candidiasis (OPC) in HIV-infected patients and in those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) [10]. [...]Candida species was sensitive to DMSO and its growth was considerably inhibited at a concentration higher than 2.5% of the final well volume (0.2 ml). [...]the extract was insoluble in 2.5% DMSO: water mixture.
