Localized Leishmania Lymphadenitis Etiologic Agent Identified as Leishmania tropica Using Gene Sequencing

Leishmaniasis include several clinical manifestations, mostly cutaneous, visceral and mucosal (1, 2). Various species can lead to diverse clinical presentations. Thus species identification contribute to proper management (3). Localized Leishmania Lymphadenitis (LLL) is a distinct entity in clinicopathologic field presenting with isolated lymphadenitis and possible cocomitant cutaneous...

New Anti - HIV Proteins Identified

New strategies to control inflammatory synovitis: interleukin 15 and beyond.

STRATEGIES TO TARGET SYNOVITIS A broad range of strategies to target inflammatory synovitis is currently being explored. Most approaches require the identification of a single molecule/pathway that is tractable to modulation in the clinic. In general, molecular activities with relevant biological effects are sought within the appropriate target lesion—namely, the synovium. Thereafter, such an a...
