Fate of circulating immune complexes in infective endocarditis.
To examine the role of circulating immune complexes (CIC) in infective endocarditis, we studied 64 patients with infective endocarditis for the presence of CIC by the polyethylene-glycol (PEG)-precipitation test and the Clq binding test. This study was repeated during the course of the disease in 23 patients. CIC were found in 84 per cent of patients (66 per cent with acute infective endocardit...
متن کاملINFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS IN CHILDREN OF SOUTHERN IRAN
Infective endocarditis is an uncommon heart disease with a variable incidence, mostly related to the ever-increasing development of cardiac surgery and the longer survival of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Thirty-seven episodes of infective endocarditis (IE) were evaluated in 36 children (under 15 years of age) admitted to hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical ...
متن کاملCirculating immune complexes in subacute infective endocarditis and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.
Two out of five patients with subacute infective endocarditis and two patients with post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis had large amounts of soluble circulating immune complexes in their sera. The three others with endocarditis had less severe disease and minimal evidence of circulating immune complexes. Low serum complement was also found in two of the cases.
متن کاملCirculating immune complexes in experimental syphilis: identification of treponemal antigens and specific antibodies to treponemal antigens in isolated complexes.
As a prelude to characterization of the host and treponemal antigens present in purified immune complexes from the sera of rabbits with disseminated syphilis, autoradiographic and immunoenzymatic analyses of solubilized extracts of Treponema pallidum, Treponema phagedenis biotype Reiter, and Treponema refringens were performed on electroblots of polypeptides first separated by sodium dodecyl su...
متن کاملBacterial calcification in infective endocarditis.
The present report is the first description to our knowledge of a clinical case of bacterial calcification in human infective endocarditic vegetations. Partial calcification of bacteria within vegetations may be a further mechanism of bacterial protection from host defences and antibiotics. Similar calcification has recently been reported in vegetations formed on porcine valvular prostheses imp...
