An effusion may occur into the pleural or peritoneal cavities as a result of direct spread of the inflammation from the advancing abscess. Absc...
متن کاملModulation of tumor necrosis factor production by macrophages in Entamoeba histolytica infection.
The macrophage-derived mediator tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) is a cytokine with pleiotropic effects. TNF exhibits potent immunologic and inflammatory properties in parasitic diseases. The present study examined the production of TNF by macrophages isolated from gerbils infected with Entamoeba histolytica and by naive macrophages in response to amoebae in vitro. Amoebic liver abscess-derive...
متن کاملSpecific circulating immune complexes in amoebic liver abscess.
A micro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the presence of amoebic antigen in polyethylene-glycol-precipitated circulating immune complexes (CIC). A cutoff dilution of greater than 1:160 for the precipitates was taken to be of clinical significance. Among the patients with amoebic liver abscess, 93% (14 of 15 confirmed cases) had indications of amoebic antigen in CIC. In 57% o...

متن کاملMucosal Delivery of ACNPV Baculovirus Driving Expression of the Gal-Lectin LC3 Fragment Confers Protection against Amoebic Liver Abscess in Hamster
Mucosal vaccination against amoebiasis using the Gal-lectin of E. histolytica has been proposed as one of the leading strategies for controlling this human disease. However, most mucosal adjuvants used are toxic and the identification of safe delivery systems is necessary. Here, we evaluate the potential of a recombinant Autographa californica baculovirus driving the expression of the LC3 fragm...
