Fungal infections of the Respiratory Tract-Section 1
Fungal infections of the Respiratory Tract are important causes of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hospitalized patients. Among these patients are those receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy for neoplastic diseases, those undergoing bone marrow stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation, and those affected with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Invasive Aspergillosis has ...
متن کاملThe Role of Leukotrienes in Respiratory Tract and Asthma
Polyunsaturated fatty acids play a role as precursors of biologically active compounds that can act as mediators or modulators of various cell functions. Thus three main groups of derivatives the prostaglandins, the thromboxanes, and recently discovered leukotrienes are formed by oxygenation and further transformation of various polyunsaturated fatty acids of which arachidonic acid plays t...
متن کاملFungal Infections of Respiratory Tract-Final Section
Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides immitis, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, and Penicillium marneffei are endemic dimorphic fungi that may infect the respiratory tract. Sporothrix schenkeii, which manifests the typical thermal dimorphism of the endemic dimorphic organisms, does not seem to follow a geographically defined endemic pattern of distribution...
متن کاملDosimetry modeling of inhaled formaldehyde: the human respiratory tract.
Formaldehyde (HCHO), which has been shown to be a nasal carcinogen in rats and mice, is used widely and extensively in various manufacturing processes. Studies in rhesus monkeys suggest that the lower respiratory tract may be at risk and some epidemiologic studies have reported an increase in lung cancer associated with HCHO; other studies have not. Thus, an assessment of possible human risk to...
متن کاملRespiratory Tract Infection 5. Respiratory Tract Infection
In troduc tion For a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanismof infectious diseases it is important to know the molecular basis of how the host responds to microbial pathogens and eliminates them. Recent advances in immunology and molecular biology have led to the discovery of a large number of cytokines and cell surface molecules, which allows us to understand such pathogenic mechanism...
