Aleutian mink disease parvovirus infection of mink macrophages and human macrophage cell line U937: demonstration of antibody-dependent enhancement of infection.
Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV) infects macrophages in adult mink. The virulent ADV-Utah I strain, but not the cell culture-adapted ADV-G strain, infects mink peritoneal macrophage cultures and the human macrophage cell line U937 in vitro. However, preincubation of ADV-G with ADV-infected mink serum enhanced its infectivity for U937 cells. the enhancing activity was present in the protei...
متن کاملRheumatoid arthritis after human parvovirus B19 infection.
Polyarthropathy associated with human parvovirus B19 (B19) is usually transient, but often resembles rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, B19 DNA screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) may be positive not only in autoimmune diseases, but also in non-arthropathy. To study whether or not RA occurs after acute B19 infection, we conducted a prospective study of patients with acute onset polyart...
متن کاملParvovirus B19 infection in human pregnancy.
Human parvovirus B19 infection is widespread. Approximately 30-50% of pregnant women are nonimmune, and vertical transmission is common following maternal infection in pregnancy. Fetal infection may be associated with a normal outcome, but fetal death may also occur without ultrasound evidence of infectious sequelae. B19 infection should be considered in any case of nonimmune hydrops. Diagnosis...
متن کاملNo Definite Association between Human Parvovirus B19 Infection and Behçet Disease
Background: The etiology of the Behçet disease (BD) has remained obscured. There have been studies to show the association of BD to infections like herpes simplex, hepatitis, and parvovirus B19 however, the findings are rather controversial.Materials and Methods: We selected 55 patients with the best matched symptoms of BD and measured the loads of B19 DNA in their plasma by quantitative real t...
