Yorkshire pigs were bred selectively for high and low immune responses (H and L pigs, respectively) based on multiple antibody (Ab) and cell-mediated immune response traits. In a previous experiment, generation 4 (G4) pigs of each line were infected with Mycoplasma hyorhinis. High responders had a more rapid and higher Ab response and less polyserositis, but arthritis was more severe in H pigs ...

ABSTRACT: Avian colibacillosis is an acute and globally occurring infectious disease of domestic wild birds caused by Escherichia coli, it associated with considerable economic losses mainly due to the morbidity mortality associated. The present study aimed describe pathological, bacteriological immunohistochemical aspects avian in broiler chickens Mozambique. Forty-nine chicken presented anore...

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) after multiple Hymenoptera stings is well known but still a rare phenomenon. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of the clinicopathological spectrum of AKI due to multiple Hymenoptera stings over 13 years (July 2003-June 2016). Results A total of 35 patients were diagnosed with AKI due to multiple Hymenoptera stings. The mean age of the patients w...

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary autoinflammatory disease with autosomal recessive inheritance pattern often seen around the Mediterranean Sea. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and polyserositis and rash. Recently, MEFV gene analysis determines the definitive diagnosis of FMF. In this study, we analyzed 12 MEFV gene mutations in more than 200 FMF patients, pr...

Haemophilus parasuis, the causative agent of Glässer's disease, is one of the early colonizers of the nasal mucosa of piglets. It is prevalent in swine herds, and lesions associated with disease are fibrinous polyserositis and bronchopneumonia. Antibiotics are commonly used in disease control, and resistance to several antibiotics has been described in H. parasuis. Prediction of H. parasuis vir...

BACKGROUND Whipple's disease is a rare, multisystemic, chronic infectious disease which classically presents as a wasting illness characterized by polyarthralgia, diarrhea, fever, and lymphadenopathy. Pleuropericardial involvement is a common pathologic finding in patients with Whipple's disease, but rarely causes clinical symptoms. We report the first case of severe fibrosing pleuropericarditi...

INTORODUCTION: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease by Flaviviridae family causing wide spectrum of ranging from subclinical disease, severe flu-like symptoms to dengue associated with bleeding, organ impairment and/or plasma leakage higher risk death when not managed appropriately. WHO classifies as DF/ DHF/DSS earlier, at present (with or without warning signs) and Severe Dengue. The viru...
