Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and mycobacterial heat shock proteins in lymph node tissue from patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.

چکیده
We demonstrated that not whole Mycobacterium tuberculosis but its particular antigens, hsp70(Mtb), hsp65(Mtb), and hsp16(Mtb), are present in lymph node tissues of patients with sarcoidosis (SA). hsp16(Mtb) occurs in the early stage of SA, whereas hsp70(Mtb) occurs in stage II of SA. hsp65(Mtb) is highly expressed in the capillary vessels in lymph node tissues in patients with SA.

متن کاملTakayasu’s Arteritis associated with Tuberculosis Infections
Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is an inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by granulomatous vasculitis affecting the aorta, its main branches and the pulmonary arteries. It occurs most often in women of child-bearing age. At the time of diagnosis 10% to 20% of patients with TA are clinically asymptomatic. The remaining 80% to 90% of patients present with systemic or vascular symptom...
متن کاملMolecular Identification of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex in Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Blocks of Extra Pulmonary Speciemens using Genomics Extraction
Background: Tuberculosis has been detected in some extra pulmonary ecological niches. Although extra pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is less frequent than Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB), its incidence has increased worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of EPTB and MDR-EXPT in Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks among different samples in Kerma...
متن کاملFrom mycobacteria to sarcoidosis--is the gate still open?
ciation between mycobacteria and sarcoidosis, and it has been hypothesized that sarcoidosis could be a separate manifestation of infection with mycobacteria. Therefore, most studies of a possible causal microoganism have focused on mycobacteria. Mycobacteria are ubiquitous all over the world with reservoirs in humans, animals, water and soil. Besides the usual forms, mycobacteria may exist in o...
