Serial cardiac function tests in myocarditis.
Sixteen patients (mean age 27 years, range 16 to 39 years) with the diagnosis of myopericarditis established by strict clinical criteria were evaluated following recovery 0.7 to 4.0 years (mean 2.7 years) later. Evidence of an acute viral infection was present in 44%. During the acute illness, the major clinical manifestations consisted of pericarditis in 10 patients, acute myocardial infarctio...
متن کاملSerial Review: Redox Signaling in Immune Function and Cellular Responses in Lung Injury and Diseases
The airway mucosal epithelium is the first site of virus contact with the host, and the main site of infection and inflammation. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by the airway epithelium is vital to antiviral inflammatory and immune defense in the lung. Multiple mechanisms function coordinately to support high-level basal NO synthesis in healthy airway epithelium and further induction of NO synthesis...
متن کاملRecognizing primary immune deficiency in clinical practice.
Primary immunodeficiency results in recurrent infections, organ dysfunction, and autoimmunity. We studied 237 patients referred for suspicion of immunodeficiency, using a scoring system based on clinical information. The 113 patients with immunodeficiency had higher scores and more episodes of chronic illnesses and were more likely to have neutropenia, lymphopenia, or splenomegaly.
متن کاملIMMUNODIAGNOSTIC TESTS IN HYDATIDOSIS OF THE LUNG
Laboratory diagnostic tests are useful in diagnosis of hydatidosis of the lung. In this study, we compare the diagnostic values of these immunodiagnostic tests with the clinical evidence of hydatid disease. Application of these tests, especially indirect hemagglutination and bentonite flocculation, is shown to be very useful in diagnosis of the disease, of course in combination with clinic...
متن کاملSerial pulmonary function tests in patients with asbestosis.
Serial lung function tests were performed on 17 patients with asbestosis. A marked fall in the transfer factor often preceded any significant decline in the vital capacity. Changes in vital capacity and transfer factor did not appear to give any indication of the prognosis in these patients. Death was more commonly due to carcinoma of the lung than to the effects of the lung fibrosis.
