Researchers have discovered how immune cells triggered by recurrent Strep A infections enter the brain, causing inflammation that may lead to autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders in children. The study, performed in mice, found that immune cells reach the brain by traveling along odor-sensing neurons ...
Central nervous system (CNS) infections—i.e., infections involving the brain (cerebrum and cerebellum), spinal cord, optic nerves, and their covering membranes—are medical emergencies that are associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, or long-term sequelae that may have catastrophic implicatio...
As a response to the infections, the body 'fights back' with its own set of defenders, i.e., the immune system. In this chapter, we focus on the various types of infections that can affect our central nervous system (CNS), arguably the most complicated organization of matter that we ...

IC is a serious infection that can affect the lungs, blood, heart, brain, eyes, bones, and other parts of the body and it alone accounts for 46–75 % of all IFI [6]. It causes life-threatening illness and responsible for the significant mortality rates (40 %) in immunocompromised ...
Infectious diseases affect every organ system in the body. This chapter will focus on those agents that affect the human central nervous system, with more focus on the cerebellum. 展开 DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-59749-2_12 年份: 2017 收藏 引用 批量引用 报错 分享 ...
All included patients reported that the onset of ME/CFS symptoms occurred 6–36 months before inclusion in this study, with a mean (± SD) 10.2 ± 4.2 months. In 85% of patients, the onset of ME/CFS symptoms occurred 8–12 months before the inclusion in the study (Fig. 3)....
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- A study published in the journal of Neuroscience on Monday reveals that infections or other triggers for a pregnant mother's immune system can affect her baby's brain development. A team led by Bradley Peterson at Children's Hospital Los Angeles found that ...
