Measles retinopathy during immunosuppression.
A 14-year-old boy had an acute attack of measles while on cytotoxic chemotherapy for a testicular neoplasm. Two months later a fatal measles encephalopathy developed, verified by histological, ultrastructural, and immunofluorescent studies. Ophthalmoscopy showed progression of flat depigmented areas of the retina as well as prominent lesions mimicking central serous retinopathy or retinitis. Hi...
متن کاملMeasles virus-induced immunosuppression in SLAM knock-in mice.
Measles virus (MV) causes transient severe immunosuppression in patients, which may lead to secondary viral and bacterial infections, largely accounting for measles-related morbidity and mortality. MV is known to infect immune cells by using the human signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM; also called CD150) as a cellular receptor, but the mechanism by which MV causes immunosuppression...
متن کاملMeasles encephalitis during immunosuppressive
Between 1971 and 1989 measles encephalitis was identified in five children receiving chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Review of these and previously reported cases of measles encephalitis in immunosuppressed patients failed to identify any pathognomonic features in the history, the clinical presentation, or the results of electroencephalography or computed tomography. Detection o...
متن کاملNeurobehavioural activation during peripheral immunosuppression.
Like other physiological responses, immune functions are the subject of behavioural conditioning. Conditioned immunosuppression can be induced by contingently pairing a novel taste with an injection of the immunosuppressant cyclosporine A (CsA) in an associative learning paradigm. This learned immunosuppression is centrally mediated by the insular cortex and the amygdala. However, the afferent ...
متن کاملImmunodepression and Immunosuppression During Aging
Much work has been done to understand isolated aspects of the immune system and effects of immunosuppression in young adults. However there has been little attempt to understand changes throughout the entire life-span of an organism, across organs, genetic backgrounds and at various scales of biological detail and to assess the effects of immunosuppression in old individuals. The immune system ...
