Respiratory Tract Infection 5. Respiratory Tract Infection
In troduc tion For a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanismof infectious diseases it is important to know the molecular basis of how the host responds to microbial pathogens and eliminates them. Recent advances in immunology and molecular biology have led to the discovery of a large number of cytokines and cell surface molecules, which allows us to understand such pathogenic mechanism...
متن کاملUpper Respiratory Tract Infection
Upper respiratory tract infection (URI) is a general term for a heterogeneous group of illnesses caused by numerous etiologic agents that affect the mucosal lining of the upper respiratory tract, including the middle-ear cavity and paranasal sinuses. URIs are primarily caused by viruses, rhinoviruses being the most common etiological agents. Respiratory viruses transmit easily via direct contac...

متن کاملLower respiratory tract colonization and infection during severe acute respiratory distress syndrome: incidence and diagnosis.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is difficult to detect and is often unsuspected during adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We prospectively evaluated lower respiratory tract (LRT) colonization and infection in 30 patients with severe ARDS (PaO2/FIO2 ratio < 150 mm Hg), using repeated quantitative cultures of plugged telescopic catheter (PTC) specimens taken blindly via the endotra...
متن کاملCryptosporidial Infection of Lower Respiratory Tract in a Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulates)
Cryptosporial and bacterial co-infection is reported in a budgerigar with clinical manifestations of septicemia and respiratory tract infection. Microscopically large number of round to oval 2-5μm cryptosporidial organisms were found to be lodged on the parabronchial epithelial cells of the respiratory tract. The bacterial colonies were seen around the parabronchial spaces of the lung tissue. I...
