Nerve damage can occur as part of an infection at a site but some infectious agents tend to target nerve tissue specifically. It may occur as infection isolated only to a nerve or be part of a systemic infection where multiple organs are affected. These infections are mainly viral or bacteria...
The underlying inflammatory driver of her AA amyloidosis was never identified and given that she had migrated some years earlier from Africa, previous chronic infection that has resolved or responded to non-disclosed prior treatment was thought to be the most likely cause. Whether the subsequent ...

The testicle surprisingly emerged as important for Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, viral persistence, and sexual transmission. Systemic infection traffics ZIKV to the cells of the testes via the hematogenous or lymphogenous routes. Studies in mice and humans have shown that Sertoli cells, spermatogonia...
32, 33, 34 However, the role of FcγR expression, particularly that of CD64, in inflammatory DCs in cross-presentation and priming of T cells remains unclear. We previously reported that systemic infection with Listeria monocytogenes (LM, a Gram-positive intracellular bacterium that induces the ...
