Gastrointestinal Tract As Entry Route for Hantavirus Infection
Background: Hantaviruses are zoonotic agents that cause hemorrhagic fevers and are thought to be transmitted to humans by exposure to aerosolized excreta of infected rodents. Puumala virus (PUUV) is the predominant endemic hantavirus in Europe. A large proportion of PUUV-infected patients suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms of unclear origin. In this study we demonstrate that PUUV infection c...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Gastrointestinal Tract as Potential Route of Primary Polyomavirus Infection in Mice
BACKGROUND Detection of Polyomavirus (PyV) DNA in metropolitan rivers worldwide has led to the suggestion that primary viral infection can occur by the oral route. The aim of this study was to test this notion experimentally. METHODS Mouse PyV (MPyV) was used to infect C57BL/6J mice by the nasal or intragastric route. Viral load kinetics was studied 3, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 days post-infection...
متن کاملSyphilis infection throughout the whole gastrointestinal tract.
A 30-year-old Japanese woman presented to our hospital with epigastric pain. A physical examination revealed epigastric tenderness and red eruptions on her face. Laboratory evaluation showed normal results for leukocyte count and serum protein level, but a slightly elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) level of 1.10mg/dL. The findings on serologic tests for syphilis, including rapid plasma regain a...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus infection of the human gastrointestinal tract.
BACKGROUND Current interest in cytomegalovirus (CMV) is largely due to an increase in the number of cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and organ transplantation in recent years. The proper recognition of CMV-infected cells in gastrointestinal mucosal biopsies is critical for effective treatment of this condition. METHODS A total of 6580 endoscopic mucosal biopsies from 6323 patients ...
متن کاملHuman intestinal tract serves as an alternative infection route for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has caused human respiratory infections with a high case fatality rate since 2012. However, the mode of virus transmission is not well understood. The findings of epidemiological and virological studies prompted us to hypothesize that the human gastrointestinal tract could serve as an alternative route to acquire MERS-CoV infection. We dem...
