Acinetobacter immune responses in multiple sclerosis: etiopathogenetic role and its possible use as a diagnostic marker.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of neurologic disability among young people. The etiology of MS is controversial, but immune responses are considered to somehow be involved. The diagnosis of MS depends on a combination of various clinical and laboratory features, but apart from some myelin-neuronal autoantibody profiles or oligoclonal bands in the cerebrospinal fluid no other s...
متن کاملNatalizumab effects on immune cell responses in multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to study in vivo biological effects of natalizumab on immune cell phenotype and function in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. METHODS Blood was obtained before and after serial monthly natalizumab infusions to track functional expression of VLA-4 and migratory capacity of immune cells. The impact of infusion on activation thresholds of immune cells was evaluated. ...
متن کاملAssociation between parasite infection and immune responses in multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE To assess whether parasite infection is correlated with a reduced number of exacerbations and altered immune reactivity in multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS A prospective, double-cohort study was performed to assess the clinical course and radiological findings in 12 MS patients presenting associated eosinophilia. All patients presented parasitic infections with positive stool specim...
متن کاملElevated EBNA1 Immune Responses Predict Conversion to Multiple Sclerosis
Objective—The aims of the study were to determine the immune responses to candidate viral triggers of multiple sclerosis (MS) in patients with clinically isolated syndromes (CIS), and to evaluate their potential value in predicting conversion to MS. Methods—Immune responses to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus 6, cytomegalovirus (HCMV), and measles were determined in a cohort of 147 C...
متن کاملImmune Rebound: Multiple Sclerosis after Treatment of Cushing’s disease
High cortisol level in endogenous Cushing’s syndrome suppresses the immune system and after treatment there may be an over activity of immune reaction leading to autoimmune diseases mostly thyroid and rheumatologic disorders. This is the second reported case of multiple sclerosis developing after treatment of Cushing’s syndrome. A 42-year old man is reported who presented with bone fracture and...
