Hepatitis C virus infection in ocular adnexal lymphomas.
OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection on disease appearance and outcome of ocular adnexal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (ONHL). DESIGN Retrospective comparative study (from January 1, 1992, through December 31, 2006). METHODS The medical records of 129 patients with ONHL were retrospectively reviewed. All the patients were tested serologically for the presence of HCV...
متن کاملChlamydia infection and lymphomas: association beyond ocular adnexal lymphomas highlighted by multiple detection methods.
PURPOSE Chlamydia psittaci (Cp) has been associated to ocular adnexal lymphomas (OAL) with variable geographic distribution. Herein, we used multiple Chlamydia detection tools to identify Cp elementary bodies-containing cell and to assess Cp prevalence in both nodal and extranodal lymphomas. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN TETR-PCR, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and laser...
متن کاملA subset of ocular adnexal marginal zone lymphomas may arise in association with IgG4-related disease
We previously suggested a relationship between ocular immunoglobulin (Ig)G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and marginal zone lymphomas (MZLs). However, the cytokine background associated with these disorders and whether it differs between ocular adnexal MZLs with (IgG4-associated MZL) and without (IgG4-negative MZL) numerous IgG4(+) plasma cells are unknown. In this study, we identified the mRNA exp...
متن کاملTrachoma and Ocular Chlamydial Infection in the Era of Genomics
Trachoma is a blinding disease usually caused by infection with Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) serovars A, B, and C in the upper tarsal conjunctiva. Individuals in endemic regions are repeatedly infected with Ct throughout childhood. A proportion of individuals experience prolonged or severe inflammatory episodes that are known to be significant risk factors for ocular scarring in later life. Conti...
متن کاملExperimentally induced ocular chlamydial infection in infant pig-tailed macaques.
Four Macaca nemestrina monkeys were inoculated in the conjunctiva with Chlamydia trachomatis (strain E) at 6 weeks of age. A fifth monkey was inoculated with HeLa cell materials only. Ten weeks later, all monkeys were reinoculated with either strain E or strain C. All inoculated monkeys were susceptible to infection with C. trachomatis as documented by fluorescent antibody staining of smears an...
