A primitive immunoligic marker of intrauterine virus infection

Natural Intrauterine Infection with Schmallenberg Virus in Malformed Newborn Calves

The Body as a Whole Schmallenberg virus (SBV)–positive calves were significantly lighter than SBV-negative calves (32 ± 15 vs. 49 ± 4 kg, p<0.05). The large deviation between SBV cases denotes a heterogeneous deficit of body weight. Notably, there was an obvious correlation between the body mass deficit and the severity of deformations in whole-body conformation (Table 1). Also, most deformed a...

Natural Intrauterine Infection with Schmallenberg Virus in Malformed Newborn Calves

We surveyed morphologic alterations in calves in Belgium that were naturally infected in utero by Schmallenberg virus (SBV) and born with deformities during January-March 2012. SBV-specific RNA was distributed unevenly in different tissues. Natural intrauterine SBV infection of calves might cause serious damage to the central nervous system and muscles.

Significance of Hepatitis B Core Antibody as the Only Marker of Hepatitis B Virus Infection in High Risk Patients

  Background and Objective: Presence of hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) is defined, as isolated anti-HBc. little is known about the clinical significance of the isolated anti-HBc in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. The aim of this study was to assess the significance of anti-HBc as the onl...

Intrauterine Vertical Transmission of SARS COV2 Infection in Iranian Neonates

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) is responsible for COVID-19 disease that is transmitted from human to human via respiratory droplets and contact routes. There is no clear accurate evidence about intrauterine transmission of COVID-19 infection among newborns. Case present :The present report aims at provid ing accurate and clear information about a one-day singleton...
