Metronidazole has a disulfiram-like effect in users of alcohol, sufficient to justify a warning. An unusual Antabuse-type reaction reported on one occasion seems to have been due to an interaction of metronidazole with the alcohol present in X-Prep. An interaction with metronidazole and ciclosporin, in which ciclosporin blood concentrations rise, has been suggested, though only in isolated case histories. It has been confirmed that metronidazole can produce a two-fold increase in blood concentrations of ciclosporin and tacrolimus, with a subsequent increase in serum crea-tinine in both cases.

Central nervous system symptoms can occur with standard doses of metronidazole, but they are mainly seen with high doses and especially when such doses are given for a long time. Under the latter conditions, there was a 25% incidence of such symptoms as headaches, dizziness, tremor, ataxia, and confusion.

Common Cold

Inflammation of the nasal passages due to any number of respiratory viruses. Usually not serious; vast majority are self-treated. Incidence/Prevalence in USA: Preschool children 6-10 colds/yr; kindergarten 12/yr; schoolchildren 7/yr; adolescents/adults 2-4/yr. National Ambulatory Survey: 31 episodes/100 persons/year (counting only colds that lead to medical attention or at least one day of restricted activity).

Coccidioidomycosis

Pulmonary fungal infection endemic to the Southwest USA. Can become progressive and involve extrapulmonary sites, including bone, CNS, and skin. Known as the “great imitator.” Incubation period is 1 to 4 weeks after exposure.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized primarily by profound fatigue, in association with multiple systemic and neuropsychiatric symptoms, lasting at least 6 months. The fatigue must have a new or definite onset (i.e., not lifelong), is not relieved by rest, and results in a substantial reduction in previous activities (occupation, education, social, and personal).

Chronic Cough

Chronic cough is defined as cough of >3 weeks duration. Patients present for fear of underlying pathology (eg, cancer), annoyance, self-consciousness, hoarseness. Patients with stress urinary incontinence may find cough particularly troubling. COPD and smoking-related cough are most common etiologies at the primary care level.

Cholera

An acute infectious disease caused by Vibrio cholerae (El Tor type is responsible for current epidemic, the other type, classic, is found only in Bangladesh). (New serotype now in Bangladesh, India (0139). Important because of lack of efficacy of standard vaccine.) Characteristics include severe diarrhea with extreme fluid and electrolyte depletion, and vomiting, muscle cramps and prostration.
