This bacterial pneumonia is usually preceded by a viral or mycoplasma infection that damages the mucociliary elements in the airways and allows for colonization by H. influenzae. The symptoms include fever; a productive, purulent cough; and myalgias. The incidence of this pneumonia as a common ...
Factors associated with a worse prognosis include advanced age, prolonged symptoms, concomitant disease, nosocomial infection and (according to some studies) larger cavity size.5 In the past, tuberculosis was responsible for a higher proportion of lung abscesses. In recent years, more lung abscesses...
particularly bacteria. The pathogen usually reaches the lung tissue through the respiratory tract when it is inhaled. However, some cases of pneumonia are due to pathogens that reach the lung via the bloodstream or an infection of a neighboring site. ...
Four retrospective studies of previous lung infections in lung cancer patients fail to demonstrate a consistently significant excess of previous disease in lung cancer patients or, when an excess has been found, to distinguish the portion attributable to smoking or to pre cancer-diagnosis symptoms ...
Expression of iNOS (Nos2), MHC-II (Rt1ba), chemokines, proinflammatory cytokines and regulatory genes in total spinal cord at the initiation stage of the EAE (i.e. 24 h after the onset of the clinical symptoms). Quantitative PCR. Housekeeping gene: β-actin. Mean ± s.e.m. n ...
A common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. They belong to Enterovirus genus and family Piconaviridae. The three species of rhinovirus include around 160 recognised types of human rhinovirus that differ according to their surface proteins (serotypes). The infection is ...
Symptoms, treatment, preventive measures, and prognosis differ depending on the cause of infection (bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic), the type of infection (acquired in the community, hospital, or nursing home), and the patient's status (immunocompetent or immunocompromised) [4]. The ...
While no fatalities were attributed to this infection, all cases necessitate life-long prophylaxis for the management of the native lung. Post-SLTx recipients are reliant on graft lung function, and even when complications occur in the native lung, symptoms are often minimal, making acute ...
pneumoniae infection and lung cancer were diagnosed as primary lung carcinoma after considering the clinical symptoms, examination findings, radiological findings, and confirmed with histological findings. Different studies used various types of diagnosing methods to detect C. pneumoniae. Currently, there is...
