متن کاملDetection of Toxoplasma Parasitemia by PCR: Does it Correlate with IgG and IgM Antibody Titers?
Background: Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease with high seroprevalence worldwide. Several immunological methods have been described for diagnosis of toxoplasmosis. Objective: To determine the parasitemia period in patients infected with toxoplasma using PCR and comparing serological data with molecular results. Methods: 154 serum samples from patients with toxoplasmosis were examined. Presenc...
متن کاملElevated Immunofluorescence Antibody Titers to Several Herpesviruses
• SUMMARY—Antibody titers for viral capsid antigens of all four human herpesviruses were measured by immunofluorescence in the sera of 16 Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) patients, 16 age, sex, and locality-matched controls, and 136 family members from the West Nile District of Uganda. Among family members, titers greater than 1:4 were found in 98% for herpes simplex virus (HSV), 86% for varicella-zoste...
متن کاملToxoplasma gondii antibody titers and history of suicide attempts in patients with recurrent mood disorders.
Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii) is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite infecting one-third of the world population, residing relatively silently in the brain of the immunocompetent host. We hypothesized that T.gondii seropositivity and serointensity are associated with having a history of attempting suicide and, in those attempting suicide, a greater number of attempts. T.gondii seroposit...
متن کاملAntibody titers against oxidized LDL are not elevated in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.
Antibodies against oxidized low density lipoproteins (Ox-LDLs) have been proposed to be independent predictors of atherosclerosis development. The main aims of the current study were to (1) compare antibody titers to Ox-LDL in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (n=51) with those in matched controls (n=45) and (2) analyze whether the antibody titers were related to the exte...
