ENT manifestations of Wegeners granulomatosis.
Wegeners granulomatosis is a necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis with multisystemic involvement. We present two cases of Wegener's presenting with otological manifestations as the first symptom. These symptoms are subtle and diagnosis may be easily overlooked. Hence a high index of suspicion is required. Early diagnosis and treatment goes a long way in improving the outcomes and in preventing ...
متن کاملNeutrophil chemotaxis in Wegeners granulomatosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background: The presence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in Wegeners granulomatosis (WG), implicate the neutrophil as a key effector cell. Previous studies have reported elevated neutrophil counts in the lung although the determinants of neutrophil chemotaxis in the WG lung are unknown. Methods: BALF cell counts, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and chemokines were measured in 27 patient...
متن کاملThe Role of Anca and Anti-gbm Antibodies in Pulmonary- Renal Syndrom Due to Wegeners Granulomatosis
Pulmonary-renal syndrome (PRS) is defined as a diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. We present a retrospective study of 22 consecutive patients with Wegeners granulomatosis (WG). Logistic regression analysis and a Wilcoxon test were included in the statistics. Survival time death risk were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier estimator and the Cox proportional haz...
متن کاملFibrogenesis: Mechanisms, Dynamics and Clinical Implications
Fibrosis is the pathological condition resulting in the growth of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or body system as a reparative or reactive process. In the field of clinical pathology, clinicians and medical scientists are endeavoring to translate experimental knowledge into effective, innovative treatments for a range of fibrotic conditions. The amelioration of whole organ functi...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of the Multi-Epitopic Recombinant Glycoproteins of Newcastle Disease Virus: Implications for the Serodiagnosis Applications
Background: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a dangerous viral disease, infecting a broad range of birds, and has a fatal effect on the poultry industries. The attachment and consequently fusion of the virus to the host cell membrane is directed by the two superficial glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and the fusion (F) which is considered as the important tar...
