Observations on the thrombocytopenia due to hypersensitivity to quinidine.
LTHOUGH a number of instaisces of thrombocytopenia due to drugs have been reported, relatively little evidetsce is available to establish the precise role of the drug in the process and the mechanism involved. The development of a severe thrombocytopenia with hemorrhagic manifestations in a patient who had been taking quinidine, afforded an opportunity to study the causal relationship of the dr...
متن کاملInvolvement of NO in contact hypersensitivity.
The NO synthases (NOS) generate NO from L-arginine. High concentrations of NO have been shown to be responsible for tissue injury and cell death, while low concentrations of NO induce vasodilatation and other signaling effects. We have investigated the involvement of NO in contact hypersensitivity (CHS) reactions. CHS induced by treatment of BALB/c mice with the contact allergen 2,4-dinitrofluo...
متن کاملInvolvement of Haptens in Allergic and Non-Allergic Hypersensitivity
The environment is used as a broad umbrella term for all sources of allergens which may cause allergic hypersensitive reaction of the immune system of humans. Westernization of life leads to increased average consumption of food additives (natural and xenobiotics) – starting from over 5kg (10lbs) annually with a strong tendency to intensify. Modern technologies of food production often employ s...
متن کاملLiver Involvement in Leptospirosis
Liver involvement is a common feature of leptospirosis. It is variable from mild to severe hepatic dysfunction. Objective: to analyze liver involvement and to assess its prognostic value in leptospirosis. Materials and methods: We performed analysis of 100 consecutive leptospirosis cases treated in Clinic of Infectious Diseases at University Hospital – Pleven (1976-2015)(90 male, mean age 37±18...
متن کاملInvolvement of interleukin-3 in delayed-type hypersensitivity.
The in vivo functions of interleukin-3 (IL-3) were investigated by generating IL-3-deficient mice. Although hematopoiesis was unimpaired in homozygous mutant animals, contact hypersensitivity reactions were compromised. IL-3 was required for efficient priming of hapten-specific contact hypersensitivity responses, but was dispensable for T-cell-dependent sensitization to tumor cells. These findi...
