Upper 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 کاملSusceptibility of the upper respiratory tract to influenza virus infection following desialylation.
The specificity of influenza for a particular host is mediated by the interaction of haemagglutinin (HA), a viral cell surface glycoprotein with host glycoconjugate receptors that contain terminal sialic acid (Sia) residues. The HA of influenza A strains that infect humans attaches preferentially to cells with Sia linked α2-6 residues to galactose, whereas avian strains preferentially bind Sia ...
متن کاملT2R38 taste receptor polymorphisms underlie susceptibility to upper respiratory infection.
Innate and adaptive defense mechanisms protect the respiratory system from attack by microbes. Here, we present evidence that the bitter taste receptor T2R38 regulates the mucosal innate defense of the human upper airway. Utilizing immunofluorescent and live cell imaging techniques in polarized primary human sinonasal cells, we demonstrate that T2R38 is expressed in human upper respiratory epit...
متن کاملCommensal Bacteria Regulate Thymic Aire Expression
Commensal bacteria in gastrointestinal tracts are reported to function as an environmental factor to regulate intestinal inflammation and immune responses. However, it remains largely unknown whether such bacterial function exerts any effect on other immune organs distant from the intestine. In this study, the influence of commensal bacteria in the thymus, where T cell lineages develop into mat...
متن کاملupper genital tract infection : A review
Upper genital tract infection causes inflammation in multiple organs such as endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvic peritoneum. This type of disease is caused due to infection with cervical pathogens, such as Neisseria gonorrhea, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, bacterial vaginosis pathogens, and respiratory pathogens. The pathogens which involve the respiratory system a...
