Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection of the brain.
Direct infection of the central nervous system by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the causative agent of AIDS, was not appreciated in the early years of the AIDS epidemic. Neurological complications associated with AIDS were largely attributed to opportunistic infections that arose as a result of the immunocompromised state of the patient and to depression. In 1985, several groups ...
متن کاملA Challenge between Central Nervous System Infection and Lead Toxicity: Opioid Case Reports from Iran
Although lead pollution has long been known as a cause of poisoning, it has remained a challenge to reliably diagnose it due to its common symptoms in various diseases. In this article, we report two cases of acute loss of consciousness due to the ingestion of opium-contaminated with lead. The reported cases share patterns of symptoms similar to meningitis and encephalitis which are usual etiol...
متن کاملBiology of the mononuclear phagocyte system of the central nervous system and HIV infection.
Infection of the central nervous system by HIV-1 results in widespread neuropathology and neurological symptoms. The cells infected in the brain belong to the mononuclear phagocyte lineage. We review aspects of the biology of the macrophage populations associated with the central nervous system and consider their distribution, phenotype, and kinetics in relation to HIV pathology.
متن کاملChemokine receptors and virus entry in the central nervous system.
Several members of the chemokine receptor family are used as coreceptors together with CD4 for HIV and SIV entry in the central nervous system (CNS). CCR5 is the major coreceptor for HIV-1 infection of macrophages and microglia, the major target cells for HIV-1 infection in the CNS. CXCR4 and CCR3 are also expressed on microglia and can mediate infection by certain HIV-1 isolates but at lower e...
متن کاملComplete ablation of tumor necrosis factor decreases the production of IgA, IgG, and IgM in experimental central nervous system tuberculosis
Objective(s): This study aimed to explore the contribution of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the recruitment of B-cell and secretion of immunoglobulins (Igs) during cerebral tuberculosis (TB).Materials and Methods: In this work, the contributing role of TNF in regulating Ig secretions was investigated by comparing wild type TNF (TNFf/f),...
متن کاملCD4-independent infection of human neural cells by human immunodeficiency virus type 1.
A number of studies have indicated that central nervous system-derived cells can be infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). To determine whether CD4, the receptor for HIV-1 in lymphoid cells, was responsible for infection of neural cells, we characterized infectable human central nervous system tumor lines and primary fetal neural cells and did not detect either CD4 protein o...
