Host biomarkers distinguish dengue from leptospirosis in Colombia: a case–control study
BACKGROUND Dengue fever and leptospirosis have partially overlapping geographic distributions, similar clinical presentations and potentially life-threatening complications but require different treatments. Distinguishing between these cosmopolitan emerging pathogens represents a diagnostic dilemma of global importance. We hypothesized that perturbations in host biomarkers can differentiate bet...
متن کاملDifferent Immune Responses in Dangerous O Blood Donors
Background & Objective: Dangerous O is very important to transfusion medicine and there has been reports by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding some death relating incidences. As high iso-antibody production is closely associated with different immune reactions, a survey on the different immune response of dangerous O donors can lead to understanding their immune respo...
متن کاملHost innate immune responses to sepsis
The immune response to sepsis can be seen as a pattern recognition receptor-mediated dysregulation of the immune system following pathogen invasion in which a careful balance between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses is vital. Invasive infection triggers both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory host responses, the magnitude of which depends on multiple factors, including pathogen ...
متن کاملHow Some Mycoplasmas Evade Host Immune Responses
E ven though free-living, mycoplasmas depend on their hosts for key nutrients, including purines, pyrimidines, several amino acids, and sterols, which are incorporated into the membranes of these wall-less bacteria. These requirements reflect their relative genomic simplicity. The 580-kb genome of Mycoplasma genitalium, for example, is comparable in size to that of a large virus. Nonetheless, t...
متن کاملHost Immune Responses Against Pulmonary Fungal Pathogens
The lungs are a gateway for numerous airborne pathogens that are ubiquitous in our environment. Among these potential pathogens are fungi that can be found in the soil, bird excreta, air ducts, and many other places where their contact is unavoidable. Exposure to these fungal pathogens oftentimes goes unnoticed due to the activation of our robust immune systems which sequester and control these...
