[ 6 ] - مقایسه میزان توکسین TSST-1 در نمونه زخم سوختگی کودکان تب‌دار و بدون تب
Background: Toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a dangerous consequence of Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The early detection for infections of Staphylococcus aureus in burned children is very important, also the pre-vention for consequences of TSST-1. Fever is one of the most noticeable sign in burned children. On the other hand, fever is one of the important co...
[ 7 ] - سطح سرمی ویتامین‌های A، D و روی در کودکان شش ماه تا پنج سال مبتلا و غیرمبتلا به عفونت تنفسی
Background: Severity of respiratory infection in children is depended on various fac-tors such as causative organism and the host immunologic response to the organism. Vitamins and micronutrients play an important role in this response with supporting the immune system and therefore, the response to infections. Nutritional deprivations in children, especially vitamins and micronutrients such as...
[ 8 ] - بررسی ارتباط پروتیین واکنشی (CRP) در مایع مغزی- نخاعی با مننژیت نوزادی
Background: Meningitis is one of the serious and dangerous infections in the infancy and childhood and rapid diagnosis of meningococcal disease is important, especially in infants. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein found in blood and is an acute phase protein. CRP sensitive reactive that used for diagnosis of infection. This study conducted to assessment of the relationship between cerebros...
[ 9 ] - بررسی سوپر آنتی‌ژن استرپتوکوک در بافت پولیپ بیماران مبتلا به پولیپ بینی و رینوسینوزیت مزمن در مقایسه با افراد سالم
Background: Nasal polyp (NP) is a benign mucosal mass located in both sinuses and nares which is mostly seen in association with cystic fibrosis, asthma or oversensitivity to aspirin. The prominent histological feature of NP is inflammatory cell infiltration with eosinophil predominance. Superantigens role in causing NP complications is already proven. Superantigens, which are mostly originated...
[ 10 ] - مقایسه سطح سرمی ویتامین A، D و روی در کودکان شش ماه تا پنج سال مبتلا به عفونت ادراری با گروه کنترل در دو بیمارستان دانشگاهی
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in infants and children, especially in their first decade of life. These patients are more susceptible to renal scars and other possible complications like growth retardation, arterial hypertension, proteinuria, isostenuria, and finally chronic renal failure.

[ 11 ] - سایتوکین‌های التهابی در کشت سلول‌های آدنویید و لوزه بعد از آدنوتانسیلکتومی و در سلول‌های تک‌هسته‌ای خون محیطی: مطالعه مقایسه‌ای
Background: Tonsils and adenoid hypertrophy is a major respiratory symptom in children which is partly due to recruitment of inflammatory cells in upper airway lymph nodes as a result of the effects of synthesis and release of different inflammatory cytokines. It seems that infections play role in concert with these cytokines leading to tonsilar hypertrophy and other pathologic consequences. It...
[ 12 ] - بررسی سوپرآنتی‌ژن‌ها در بافت پولیپ بیماران مبتلا به رینوسینوزیت مزمن در مقایسه با گروه کنترل: گزارش کوتاه
Background: Staphylococcus aureus secretes numerous superantigenes which trigger the inflammatory mechanisms of sinus mucosa and cause chronic rhino-sinusitis. This study was designed to evaluate the role of staphylococcus aureus superantigens in polyp tissues of patients with chronic rhino-sinusitis in comparison with a control group.Methods: Polyp tissue samples of 28 patients and mucosal spe...
