Immunological Aspects of Candida and Aspergillus Systemic Fungal Infections
Patients with allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) have a high risk of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) even after neutrophil regeneration. Immunological aspects might play a very important role in the IFI development in these patients. Some data are available supporting the identification of high-risk patients with IFI for example patients receiving stem cells from TLR4 haplotype S4 pos...
متن کاملImmunological aspects of Giardia infections
Immunodeficiency, particularly antibody deficiency, predisposes to increased intensity and persistence of Giardia infections. Giardia-infected immunocompetent hosts produce serum and intestinal antibodies against Giardia trophozoites. The number of Giardia muris trophozoites, in mice with G. muris infection, is reduced by intra-duodenal administration of anti-G. muris antibody. Giardia intestin...

متن کاملObservations on Some Immunological Aspects of Leptospiral Infections
or by a single dose of 2 c.cm. of rich live culture followed 24 hours after by 0.25 c.cm. of immune rabbit serum given intraperitoneally. The latter procedure was found to be a very efficient and quick method of immunizing guinea-pigs against leptospiral infection. The sera of these animals agglutinated the homologous strain in a dilution of 1 : 10,000 in every case. This titre had not decrease...
