Single-cell multiomics uncovers brain myeloid cell shifts in SIV encephalitis, highlighting altered microglia, chemoattractants, and gene regulation, offering insights into CNS inflammation in HIV/SIV-linked disorders. Xiaoke Xu Meng Niu Howard S. Fox ...
Infections that cause significant nervous system morbidity globally include viral (for example, HIV, rabies, Japanese encephalitis virus, herpes simplex virus, varicella zoster virus, cytomegalovirus, dengue virus and chikungunya virus), bacterial (for example, tuberculosis, syphilis, bacterial meningitis ...
By contrast, there is a subset of well-described bacterial pathogens that ascend the genital tract and causechorioamnionitis(reviewed in refs95,96). Intra-amniotic infection classically occurs in the setting of ruptured membranes, which suggests that the bridge of the fetal membrane provides an imp...
An important difference between infections with HIV, HBV, and HCV, and flavivirus infections is that the latter cause acute infections; consequently, the treatment initiation window for flaviviruses is typically short. For example, in the case of dengue, because of the short duration of viremia, ...
It is known that several arboviruses can cause meningitis, encephalitis, and encephalomyelitis [119]. Verma and Varathanaj [120] reported a case ofepilepsia partialis continuaassociated with dengue virus (DENV) encephalitis. Although seizures occur in approximately 47% of encephalitis cases caused by...
Investigation of dengue and Japanese encephalitis virus transmission in Hanam, Viet Nam. This study investigated whether a large dengue epidemic that struck Hanoi in 2009 also affected a nearby semirural area. Seroconversion (dengue virus-reactive immunoglobulin G enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) was ...
Noun1.mycoplasma- any of a group of small parasitic bacteria that lack cell walls and can survive without oxygen; can cause pneumonia and urinary tract infection eubacteria,eubacterium,true bacteria- a large group of bacteria having rigid cell walls; motile types have flagella ...
Although MVM was not thought to cause persistent infection in immunocompetent mice, recent data show that it can be detected in spleens for up to 16 weeks after exposure in some mouse strains [207]. Therefore, PCR may be considered as a confirmatory method for serology. The virus can be ...
Unicellular microorganisms developed on Earth approximately 3–4 billion years ago, and since the evolution of modern man (Homo sapiens) about 200,000 years ago, there been a close interaction between them which has not always been beneficial for the hos
Acute respiratory infections are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among infants and children in developing countries. It is estimated that pneumonia causes up to 2 million deaths per year in children under 5 years of age, and neonatal pneumonia or sepsis causes an additional 1 million...
