This work aims to compare the effects of acute or chronic infections with the T. cruzi genotypes TcI (X10 strain), TcII (Y strain) and TcVI (Tulahuen strain) on fertility, gestation, pup growth and the possible vertical transmission of parasites in BALB/c mice. The occurrence of congenital infection was evaluated by microscopic examination of blood and/or qPCR on blood and heart in newborn pups...

As many as 50% of spontaneous preterm births are infection-associated. Intrauterine infection leads to a maternal and fetal inflammatory cascade, which produces uterine contractions and may also result in long-term adverse outcomes, such as cerebral palsy. This article addresses the prevalence, microbiology, and management of intrauterine infection in the setting of preterm labor with intact me...

To find the association between uterine infection and mastitis to compare effectiveness of ozone treatment antibiotics in curing these infections, 200 dairy cows were screened by culturing milk samples on blood agar containing 5% sheep blood. A total 52 animals either suffering from or infections isolated divided into four groups receive antibiotic treatments i.e., MA (mastitis treated with ant...

Man is the only reservoir of cytomegalovirus. 13% of the general population are carriers of this virus with a high incidence of intra uterine infection. A wide variety of abnormalities has been observed, including hearing loss, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, seizures, blindness, defects in tooth structure and poor school performance. Congenital CMV infection is usually due to transplacenta...

Fatal cases of acute shock complicating Clostridium sordellii endometritis following medical abortion with mifepristone (also known as RU-486) used with misoprostol were reported. The pathogenesis of this unexpected complication remains enigmatic. Misoprostol is a pharmacomimetic of PGE(2), an endogenous suppressor of innate immunity. Clinical C. sordellii infections were associated with intrav...

Accepted: 02/06/2014 Abstract Several physiological changes occur in the cow’s uterus soon after calving. These changes are significant if a cow is to recover and come back into season, ready to conceive, thus any factors that interfare with the normal functioning of the uterus and other associated structures will affect overall reproductive performance. Research has shown variations in the pre...

Although not common, postpartum and post-abortion infections caused by clostridia can be severe. Clostridial uterine infections start as localized chorioamnionitis as a result of an infection from the fetus and/or placental tissues. The infection may spread to the uterine wall and endometrial tissues, and, in the most severe cases, uterine necrosis accompanied by sepsis ensues. In this paper we...

INTRODUCTION To describe the prevalence of human papillomavirus infection (HPV) in cases of cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN), micro-invasive carcinoma and invasive carcinoma in Toluca, State of Mexico. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectional study analysing slides with the diagnosis of CIN I to invasive carcinoma for one year and reporting the presence of HPV; also identifying these ce...

Papillomaviruses (PVs) are believed to be highly epitheliotropic as they usually establish productive infections within stratified epithelia. In vitro, various PVs appear to complete their entire life-cycle in different trophoblastic cell lines. In this study, infection by and protein expression of bovine papillomavirus type 2 (BPV-2) in the uterine and chorionic epithelium of the placenta has ...

Uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULC) is an uncommon neoplasm characterized by poor prognosis, it can predispose to distant metastasis, causing various symptomatic presentations. We present a unique case of large heterogeneous mass in the lung cavity arising from ULC, with complete absence pulmonary symptoms and concurrent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. A high degree clinical suspicion r...
