Impaired pneumococcal antibody response in bronchiectasis of unknown aetiology.
As a defective anti-polysaccharide response can exist in the absence of an immunoglobulin deficiency, a series of 26 patients with bronchiectasis of unknown aetiology was vaccinated with a 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. All patients suffered from recurrent respiratory tract infections. When measuring total antibody levels to pneumococcal serotypes 3, 4 and 9, a normal polysaccha...

Background: Immunopathological and inflammatory processes play important roles in the initiation and development of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum levels of several autoantibodies including rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (anti-Sm), anti-phosphatidylserine (anti-PS) and anti-car...
متن کاملAetiology in adult patients with bronchiectasis.
BACKGROUND Bronchiectasis has a number of causes. Their prevalence is not well documented. The aim of this study was to identify aetiology in a population of patients referred to a specialist clinic with symptoms suggestive of bronchiectasis, to determine the proportion of patients in whom knowing the aetiology altered management. In addition we wished to describe in detail those patients who r...
متن کاملLevels of serum immunoglobulins in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Quantitative and qualitative modifications of the plasma proteins are of particular importance among the systemic manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis. Increase of a2and y-globulins may be found in most patients (Ropes, Perlmann, Kaufman, and Bauer, 1954) in relation to the onset, evolution, and activity of the disease (Bonomo, 1957). The most important pattern consists generally of a predomi...
