The upper respiratory tract: mucous membrane irritation.
Despite the widespread recognition that mucosal irritation is a cardinal feature of "sick-building syndrome," few data exist on the cause, natural history, or pathophysiology of upper respiratory mucous membrane irritation. The baseline prevalence of nasal symptoms among building occupants is often 20%, but in some studies it is as high as 50 to 60%. New techniques of nasal challenge and analys...

Of the eight epithelial cell types of the airway surface epithelium three are secretory, the mucous, serous and Clara cells: the first two are also found in the submucosal glands. Organ culture results indicate that the pattern of control of the surface cells is different from that of the glands. Our recent studies show that in the surface epithelium Clara and serous cells can quickly convert t...

Whereas colonisation with P fimbriated strains has been clearly shown to predispose to pyelonephritis, virulence factors which predispose to cystitis have not been so clearly identified. Several host genetic and behavioural factors have been found to be associated with increased colonisation wi...
