Accumulating evidence suggests that maternal infection is a risk factor for schizophrenia.

متن کاملPathogenesis of HIV infection: implications for treatment and prevention
The immune systems of patients with HIV infection are characterized by an immunodeficiency that develops in the setting of a global immune activation and a complex array of HIV-specific immune responses. The immunodeficiency of HIV infection is the result of a decrease in both memory and naïve CD4+ T cells. Imaging studies of the total body CD4+ T cell pool reveal global depletion within all ly...
متن کاملAsymptomatic brucellosis infection in humans: implications for diagnosis and prevention.
Human brucellosis is mainly caused by contact with Brucella-infected animals and their secretions and carcasses. Individuals who are continuously in contact with animals are considered to be at a high risk but only some show symptoms and are diagnosed as cases of brucellosis. Here, we showed that asymptomatic brucellosis infections occur among humans. Asymptomatic infections mainly result from ...
