Lymphoproliferative disease in mice infected with murine gammaherpesvirus 68.
Murine gammaherpesvirus is a natural pathogen of wild rodents. In the laboratory it establishes an infection of epithelial cells and persists in B lymphocytes in a latent form. Inbred mice chronically infected with the virus develop a lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) similar to that seen in patients infected with Epstein-Barr virus. The frequency of LPD over a period of 3 years was 9% of all i...
متن کاملAnemia in Lymphoproliferative Disorders.
The etiologies of anemia in patients with lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) are diverse. Causes such as acute blood loss or deficiencies in iron or vitamins (folate/B12) are considered in the initial evaluation. In many instances, the anemia can be attributed to marrow infiltration by the LPD. Treatment with chemotherapy can suppress erythropoiesis. Other causes that occur more often with LPD ...
متن کاملHerpesvirus hominis infection in patients with myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative disorders.
Infection with Herpesvirus hominis, often associated with oral ulceration, was found to be more frequent in patients with myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative disorders than in normal populations or patients with other diseases. This increased frequency was not associated with any deficiency of the humoral antibody response, suggesting a possible impairment of cell-mediated immunity. The ...
متن کاملHTLV Tax gene expression in patients with lymphoproliferative disorders.
AIMS To study the expression of the human T lymphotropic virus (HTLV) Tax gene in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. METHODS Blood was collected from 72 patients with lymphoproliferative disorders. Serum from all patients was assayed for antibodies directed against HTLV-I structural proteins by ELISA and western blotting. RNA was purified from fresh blood cells and amplified by reverse trans...
متن کاملPosttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders in patients with IBD on immunosuppressive treatment.
sociated with bronchiectasis in the present case are classic findings of CVID that explain the repeated episodes of pneumonia. Unresponsiveness to diarrhea was initially thought to be a distal UC, which, unusually, was hard to control; however, the almost normal features on endoscopic (colonoscopy) and histological controls associated with the rapid and sustained positive response after the fir...
