Immunopathogenesis in Chlamydia trachomatis Infected Women
We examine the Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) immunopathogenesis on the basis of the complex interaction between host immune response and virulence microorganism factors. Ct infection can be asymptomatic or may produce an inflammation elicited and preserved by reinfections or persistent infections. We discuss the host polymorphisms that, with their anti- or proinflammatory effects, determine the co...
متن کاملDetection of Chlamydia Trachomatis among Infected Women
Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI). C. trachomatis has a high rate of asymptomatic infection approximately 80% of cases in females, and 45% in males, are estimated to be asymptomatic. Objective: The aim of this study was to to detect the prevalence of C. trachomatis among women with chronic cervicitis, abortion, f...
متن کاملRole of natural killer cells in infection with the mouse pneumonitis agent (murine Chlamydia trachomatis).
Natural killer (NK) activity is increased in both spleen and lung early in pulmonary infection by murine Chlamydia trachomatis in both susceptible nude and resistant heterozygous (nu/+) mice. Ablation of the rise in NK activity by giving the mice antiasialo GM-1 antibody or stimulation of NK activity by immunomodulators did not affect quantitative tissue counts of the mouse pneumonitis biovar o...
متن کاملIncreased Natural Killer Cells Activity in Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Schizophrenia has been associated with altered immunity. Different studies regarding natural killer cell activity (NKA) in schizophrenic patients have shown inconsistent results. Objectives: To evaluate NK cell activity in schizophrenic patients in comparison with healthy control individuals. Methods: 30 medication-free schizophrenic patients and 41 healthy sex, age and smoking st...
