    Nyckelord :HSV-2; T-bet; Substance P; Neurokinin 1; IFN-alfa beta signaling; Polymorphisms;

    Sammanfattning : Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a sexually transmitted pathogen that infects the genital tract mucosa as well as local sensory neurons. It is the most common cause of genital ulcer disease in humans. The infection gives rise to a wide range of symptoms, ranging from severe and painful recurrent episodes of genital herpes to silent infection. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer is one of the most common forms of cancers in women. Every year approximately 450,000 women are diagnosed worldwide and 200,000 die. The sexually transmitted oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) types are established as the major etiological agents of cancer of the cervix. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Diagnosis in aseptic meningitis and immune response in herpes simplex virus infections

    Författare :Elisabeth Franzén-Röhl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 are ubiquitous and appear often asymptomatic but some individuals suffer from recurrent infections and the causes are largely unknown. In this thesis I present results from evaluations of diagnostic and etiologic studies of methods used for the detection of acute aseptic meningitis (AAM) and in HSV-2 meningitis in particular.

  7. 15. Sexually transmitted infections: serological, microbiological and microscopical aspects

    Författare :Matilda Berntsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; herpes simplex virus; seroprevalence; Epstein-Barr virus; cytomegalovirus; urethritis; cervicitis; STI;

    Sammanfattning : The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) is high in the adult populations world-wide but varies between populations and time periods. Since a high proportion of infected individuals are asymptomatic, diagnostic approaches to reduce further transmission and complications are essential. LÄS MER
