Proinflammatory Cytokines in Peritonitis
RATIONALE We performed this study with the purpose of revealing different aspects of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome in peritonitis. OBJECTIVES The aim of the presentation was to make a research on some of the immune response mediators in secondary peritonitis and to observe their capacity to anticipate the evolution towards septic complications. METHODS AND RESULTS We have unde...
متن کاملCytokines and local cellular immunity.
The characteristics and function of human lymphocytes at a morbid site were studied. Exudative-sensitized lymphocytes in tuberculous pleural fluid reacted to the specific antigen more effectively and produced higher titers of lymphokines including interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin 2 (IL-2) than circulating lymphocytes. CD4+/CD8- T-cell subset is responsible for the antigen-specific I...
متن کاملIntestinal Enterococcus faecium colonization improves host defense during polymicrobial peritonitis.
BACKGROUND Vancomycin-resistant (VR) Enterococcus faecium is increasingly found to colonize and infect hospitalized patients. Enterococci are frequently isolated from polymicrobial infections originating from the intestines. The impact of VR E. faecium on these infections and vice versa is not clear. METHODS Mice were intestinally colonized with VR E. faecium during oral vancomycin treatment;...
متن کاملLocal and systemic innate immune response to secondary human peritonitis
INTRODUCTION Our aim was to describe inflammatory cytokines response in the peritoneum and plasma of patients with peritonitis. We also tested the hypothesis that scenarios associated with worse outcome would result in different cytokine release patterns. Therefore, we compared cytokine responses according to the occurrence of septic shock, mortality, type of peritonitis and peritoneal microbio...
متن کاملCytokines in innate host defense in the lung
Historically the lung has been perceived as an organ primarily involved in gas exchange. However, due to its unique relationship with the environment, the lung must defend itself from infection by numerous inhaled micro-organisms. Various innate defenses protect the lung from infection, including the cough reflex, mucociliary clearance (see Knowles and Boucher, this Perspective series, ref. 1),...
