Immunopathology in ocular toxoplasmosis: facts and clues.
Although parasite-mediated host cell lysis is deemed to be an important cause of tissue destruction in ocular toxoplasmosis (OT), the severity of the disease is probably correlated with hypersensitivity and inflammation. Notwithstanding, the mechanisms that regulate the inflammatory process in recurrent OT are poorly understood. Recent evidence has identified interleukin (IL) 17 as a marker for...
متن کاملIgA antibody response during acquired and congenital toxoplasmosis.
Toxoplasma gondii specific IgA and IgM antibodies were quantitated by an antibody capture agglutination assay in 260 patients with acquired toxoplasmosis and from 94 fetuses suspected of congenital toxoplasmosis and 30 infected children. In acquired toxoplasmosis, IgA antibodies to T gondii were found in 95% of the cases. In congenital toxoplasmosis IgA antibodies were more frequently detected ...
متن کاملImmune Evasion, Immunopathology and the Regulation of the Immune System
Costs and benefits of the immune response have attracted considerable attention in the last years among evolutionary biologists. Given the cost of parasitism, natural selection should favor individuals with the most effective immune defenses. Nevertheless, there exists huge variation in the expression of immune effectors among individuals. To explain this apparent paradox, it has been suggested...
متن کاملImmune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome and cerebral toxoplasmosis.
Cerebral Toxoplasmosis Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a clinical deterioration that occurs despite increasing CD4 T-lymphocyte counts and decreasing plasma human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) viral loads. It results from an inflammatory response or “dysregulation” of the immune system to both intact subclinical pathogens and residual antigens. Resulting clinical manife...
