Immune deficiency: changing spectrum of pathogens
Current UK national standards recommend routine bacteriology surveillance in severe antibody-deficient patients, but less guidance exists on virology screening and viral infections in these patients. In this retrospective audit, we assessed the proportion of positive virology or bacteriology respiratory and stool samples from patients with severe, partial or no immune deficiency during a 2-year...
متن کاملPlant immune response to pathogens differs with changing temperatures.
Temperature fluctuation is a key determinant for microbial invasion and host evasion. In contrast to mammals that maintain constant body temperature, plant temperature oscillates on a daily basis. It remains elusive how plants operate inducible defenses in response to temperature fluctuation. Here we report that ambient temperature changes lead to pronounced shifts of the following two distinct...
متن کاملChanging Spectrum of Typhoid
To determine the changing spectrum of typhoid fever, a study was conducted on 240 cases of typhoid fever, admitted over a period of 4 years. The classical ‘Stepladder fever’ and ‘relative bradycardia’ were less commonly seen. Presentation as hepatitis, psychosis, meningism, myocarditis, polyneuropathy and diarrhoea were encountered in a small number of patients. Reversible proximal myopathy occ...
متن کاملChanging Geographic Distributions of Human Pathogens
Since the rise of modern humans, changes in demography and land use and frequent contact with wildlife and domesticated animals have created ongoing opportunities for pathogen loss, gain, and evolution in the human population. Early transportation networks and population expansion created a world where many human-specific pathogens are now ubiquitous, yet zoonoses continue to emerge as humans e...
متن کاملDiversity in lectins enables immune recognition and differentiation of wide spectrum of pathogens.
Carbohydrate-binding lectins play essential roles as pattern recognition receptors in innate immunity in both vertebrates and invertebrates. The carcinolectins 5 (CL5a and CL5b, the CL5 isoforms of horseshoe crab, Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda, with apparent sizes of 36 and 40 kDa, respectively) are prominent plasma lectins that bind all representative microbes and pathogen-associated molecular ...
