Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Iranian Patients with Beta-Thalassemia Major
Background: β-thalassemia as a hereditary disease is defined as defective synthesis of β-globin chains, resulting in erythropoiesis abnormalities and severe anemia. Different studies have shown that cytokines and cytokine gene polymorphisms play a major role in the pathogenesis of β-thalassemia. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the promoter region or other regulatory sequences ...
متن کاملAcute Cholecystitis in Patients with Scrub Typhus.
Acute cholecystitis is a rare complication of scrub typhus. Although a few such cases have been reported in patients with scrub typhus, the clinical course is not well described. Of 12 patients, acute cholecystitis developed in 66.7% (8/12) of patients older than 60 yr. The scrub typhus group with acute cholecystitis had marginal significant longer hospital stay and higher cost than the group w...
متن کاملSerum Tcii in Patients with Scrub Typhus
Serum transcobalamin II levels were measured in scrub typhus patients. Eighteen out of fifty-two patients admitted to Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital were diagnosed with scrub typhus infection. The serum unsaturated vitamin B12 binding protein (UBBC) and total vitamin B12 binding protein (TBBC) levels in these patients were significantly higher than in normal subjects (p<0.001). The mean ser...

متن کاملScrub-typhus.
Scrub typhus is an important emerging tropical infection that can have severe manifestations in children leading to intensive care admission. It is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, a gram negative bacterium transmitted to humans by the bite of larval trombiculid mites. The organism is endemic in south-east Asia and the disease is reported from virtually all parts of India. The hallmark of this...
