Antiviral therapy in neonatal cholestatic cytomegalovirus hepatitis
BACKGROUND Neonatal hepatitis refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders, caused by many factors including cytomegalovirus infection, revealing similar morphologic changes in the liver of an infant less than 3 months of age. Approximately 40% of cholestasis in infants is due to neonatal hepatitis. It may cause latent or acute cholestatic or chronic hepatitis, including cirrhosis in immunocomp...
متن کاملCounting Defective Parking Functions
Suppose that m drivers each choose a preferred parking space in a linear car park with n spaces. Each driver goes to the chosen space and parks there if it is free, and otherwise takes the first available space with a larger number (if any). If all drivers park successfully, the sequence of choices is called a parking function. In general, if k drivers fail to park, we have a defective parking ...
متن کاملAntiviral prophylaxis of neonatal herpes infection.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is considered to be one of the most frequent viral infectious agents in humans. Transmission of HSV from mother to foetus during pregnancy is uncommon with about 85% of transmission occurring perinatally, when neonates acquire HSV during vaginal birth from infected genital tract secretions. For women, who present with an episode of recurrent genital herpes several wee...
متن کاملThe Closely Related CD103+ Dendritic Cells (DCs) and Lymphoid-Resident CD8+ DCs Differ in Their Inflammatory Functions
Migratory CD103+ and lymphoid-resident CD8+ dendritic cells (DCs) share many attributes, such as dependence on the same transcription factors, cross-presenting ability and expression of certain surface molecules, such that it has been proposed they belong to a common sub-lineage. The functional diversity of the two DC types is nevertheless incompletely understood. Here we reveal that upon skin ...
متن کاملAntiviral Cd8+ T Cell Responses in Neonatal Mice
Polyoma virus is a potent oncogenic pathogen when inoculated into newborn mice of particular H-2(k) strains. Using D(k) tetramers containing the dominant antipolyoma CD8(+) T cell epitope, middle T protein (MT)389-397, and intracellular interferon gamma staining, we enumerated MT389-specific CD8(+) T cells in infected neonates having opposite susceptibilities to polyoma virus-induced tumors. In...
