Valvular endocarditis is the most serious complication of chronic Q fever, an infectious disease due to Coxiella burnetii. Although its pathogenesis is poorly understood, the role of the immune system has been evoked. The aim of this study was to investigate lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral
Hobi-like viruses (HobiPeV) comprise a novel, recently classified species of bovine pestiviruses, originally identified in commercial fetal bovine serum of Brazilian origin and, subsequently, isolated from diseased animals in several countries. Although frequently isolated from clinical cases, most
Twenty pigs were inoculated with a virulent isolate (Quillota strain) of classical swine fever (CSF) virus to determine the chronological development of lesions in bone marrow. Histopathologic, ultrastructural and immunohistochemical (detection of viral antigen gp55, myeloid-histiocyte antigen, CD3
The immune status in 48 typhoid fever (TF) patients has been studied. As revealed in this study, during the fever period of the disease pronounced disturbances in immune homeostasis are observed, which are manifested by T lymphopenia, the prevalence of suppressor subpopulations of T lymphocytes with
The objective of this study was to examine the incidence and characteristics of Ara-C-related fever and the frequency and severity of infections after single-drug, high-dose Ara-C treatment (HDAC) in children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). A
A 32 year old Indian male patient presented with chief complaints of a high fever, erythema on ear, severe polyarthritic joint pains & swelling, non pitting pedal oedema, facial puffiness and itching for past four days. He had no significant past medical and drug history and was serologically
Infection of pigs with classical swine fever virus (CSFV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, causes a severe leukopenia, particularly notable with the lymphocytes. The goal of this study was to analyze mechanisms behind this CSFV-induced lymphopenia. To this end, the kinetics of leukocyte
Six pigs were infected oro-nasally with a moderately virulent African swine fever (ASF) virus from the Dominican Republic (DR II). The effect of virus infection on the pig's immune system was tested by measuring peripheral leucocyte numbers and the ability of mononuclear leucocytes (MNL) to respond
A 65-year-old Italian physician affected by Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) was hospitalized due to progressive abdominal enlargement, which had begun 6 months before admission. Physical examination revealed ascites and bilateral leg edema. Abdominal CT scan showed ascitic fluid and extensive
Idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia is a very rare condition resulting in an immunodeficiency disorder that may or may not result in opportunistic infections. Since its description in the early 1990s, the reason for this immune deficiency has remained unclear. Its association with viral illnesses, such
