The spectrum of infectious diseases has shifted in the past 50 years to include those caused by microbes that cause disease predominantly in immunocompromised individuals. This phenomenon has underscored the dependence of microbial virulence on the immune status of the host. The limited efficacy of the available antimicrobial armamentarium in immunocompromised individuals, combined with increas...

Infectious diseases in any age group can be successfully prevented through immunization. Protection provided through immunization in childhood decreases over the years. Immunization in adulthood is important because of the growing elderly population, chronic diseases, and globalization. Recommendations on this subject are being constantly updated through scientific guidelines. Immunization in a...

Background: Down-regulation of the lung inflammatory response seems to preserve pulmonary functions and improve survival in COVID-19. The key factor overcoming cytokine storm caused by COVID-19 immunomodulation, rather than immunosuppression. Identifying right mechanism manipulate immune regulatory networks lung—with minimal side effects—represents one many challenges treatment disease. Immunom...

A few tumours are exceptionally stubborn to oral chemotherapy. The endurance of in a cases is helped by checkpoint immunomodulation keep up the unevenness between resistant reconnaissance and disease cell division.

Chauhan, R.S.; Singh, B.P. and Singh, L.K. 2001. Immunomodulation with Kamdhenu ark in mice. J. Immunol. Immunopathol., 3: 74-77. The immunomodulatory effect of Kamdhenu ark was studied on 20 mice divided into 2 groups. Groups I was kept as control while group II mice were given 1 ml Kamdhenu ark in water for a period of 90 days. Results indicated that there was increased Band Tlymphocyte blast...

Background: Gut microbiota play an important role in the inflammation. This study aimed to investigate whether exogenous probiotics could improve intestinal barrier function effect via attenuating inflammation and immunomodulation clinical outcomes critically ill patients.

Despite the advances of microbiology, immunology and pharmacology, tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious public health problem, particularly in poor countries. Portugal, which has reduced the incidence of the disease in 2009, had an incidence of new cases of about 27.0 per 100,000 inhabitants, a figure which surpasses the average in Europe (15/100,000 inhabitants) and also values considered of lo...

Immunomodulators, modify the activity of immune function through the impulsive modulation of informational molecules such as cytokines. This may propose an explanation of the effects of herbs on the immune system and other tissues. The immune system is a part of body to find the pathogen by using a specific receptor to create instantly response by the activation of immune components cells, cyto...
