HSP Roles as Biomarkers and Antigens in Bacterial and Viral Infections
Diagnosis of infectious diseases remains an important issue in medical science. Identification of biomarkers can be used to predict early infections. Recently, heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been known as the conserved compounds expressed under stress conditions in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. These proteins act as molecular chaperones. Several studies showed the increased levels o...
متن کاملViral infections of the nervous system.
Neurotropic viruses cause a number of important infectious syndromes including encephalitis, myelitis, meningitis, and radiculopathy. In this review, the biology of conventional and unconventional viruses is examined. The host immune response to viruses is discussed, and patterns of viral pathogenesis are explained. The clinical features, laboratory findings, management of important viral infec...
متن کاملVIRAL infections of the central nervous system.
Viral infections of the central nervous system in the tropical countries of Asia and the Indian subcontinent are different from those of the Western and developed world. Many of the endemic and epidemic encephalitides that are prevalent in these regions, such as Japanese encephalitis, have characteristic findings on imaging, especially on magnetic resonance imaging, allowing a rapid diagnosis a...
متن کاملMain Mechanisms Triggering Autoimmunity after Infections
www.pidj.com | 1295 The ESPID Reports and Reviews of Pediatric Infectious Diseases series topics, authors and contents are chosen and approved independently by the Editorial Board of ESPID. I between infections and autoimmunity have been recently viewed in a bidirectional way: some evidence supports the role of infections as a cause of autoimmunity, but it was also suggested that infections may...
متن کاملHLA-KIR Interactions and Immunity to Viral Infections
Host genetic factors play a central role in determining the clinical phenotype of human diseases. Association between two polymorphic loci in human genome, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), and genetically complex infectious disease, particularly those of viral etiology, have been historically elusive. Hence, defining the influence of genetic di...
