چکیده

A 15-year-old male admitted for Pott's puffy tumor developed recurrent episodes of fever, diffuse morbilliform rash, eosinophilia, and tubulointerstitial nephritis while on multiple antibiotics. Lymphocyte blast transformation (LBT), a method of detecting cellular immune response by measuring levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), was used to diagnose vancomycin hypersensitivity and guide antibiotic selection.

Correlation of in vivo delayed-type hypersensitivity with in vitro lymphocyte transformation in sarcoidosis.

O. P. SHARMA The cardinal immunological defect in sarcoidosis is depression of delayed-type hypersensitivity which is readily demonstrated by skin tests using tuberculin, Candida albicans, or the chemical dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). It is also known that in vitro culture of lymphocytes from sarcoidosis patients fail to undergo blastic transformation in response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). We...

بررسی نتایج تست تحریک لنفوسیتی در مبتلایان به واکنش های ازدیاد حساسیت به دنبال مصرف فنی توئین و گروه شاهد

  Background: Administration of phenytoin can been associated with severe adverse reactions such as hypersensitivity reactions. Lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) can be a useful method for determination of the drug, which has caused hypersensitivity reaction. This study was done to evaluate the results of lymphocyte transformation test in patients with delayed hypersensitivity reactions foll...

Berylliosis as an auto-immune disorder.

Exposure to compounds of beryllium can cause dermatitis, acute pneumonitis and chronic pulmonary granulomatosis ("berylliosis") in humans. These syndromes seem to have an allergic-immunologic component in common. Hypersensitivity to beryllium is of the delayed (cell-mediated) type and can be measured as skin reactivity to patch test; lymphocyte blast transformation; and macrophage migration inh...

Serum neutralizing antibody and lymphocyte transformation responses after influenza B virus infections.

Serum neutralizing antibody and influenza B-specific lymphocyte blast transformation responses were measured in 110 adults and children after an influenza B outbreak. Serum neutralizing antibody and lymphocyte blast transformation responses were seen in 67 to 75% of adults and children recently infected (less than 1 year), but significant lymphocyte blast transformation responses were seen in o...

T cell-mediated cytotoxicity against HBsAg-coated Chang cells in patients with chronic hepatitis: evidence for cytotoxicity mediated by delayed hypersensitivity T cell reaction.

T lymphocytes from 7 (21%) of 34 patients with chronic hepatitis showed positive cytotoxicity against HBsAg-coated Chang cells. This positivity was observed in HBsAg-negative patients having positive blast transformation responses to HBsAg, as well as in patients convalescing and recovered from acute B hepatitis. Levels of S-GPT in these patients were not different from those showing no cytotox...
