  1. 1. Quantifying Phagocytosis – studies on the antibody response during invasive streptococcal infections

    Författare :Therese de Neergaard; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Phagocytosis; Hill equation; Streptococcus pyogenes GAS ; Streptococcus dysgalactiae; Antibodies; invasive infection; Phagocytosis; Hill equation; Streptococcus pyogenes; Group A Streptococcus; Streptococcus dysgalactiae; Antibodies; Invasive infection;

    Sammanfattning : The interaction between our immune system and pathogens encompasses a complex spectrum from symbiosis to potentially life-threatening diseases. Throughout evolution, our immune system has evolved numerous strategies such as phagocytosis to combat infections and protect us from diseases. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Invasive Haemophilus influenzae Infection and Breastfeeding : Aspects of epidemiology and immunology

    Författare :Sven-Arne Silfverdal; Heikki Peltola; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Invasive Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) infection is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) has been implemented in many industrial countries during the 1990s with a dramatic decrease in mortality and morbidity due to Hib. LÄS MER

  4. 3. On community acquired infections requiring intensive care

    Författare :Magnus Brink; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intensive care; infection; acute bacterial meningitis; beta-lactam antibiotics; cerebrospinal fluid; polymerase chain reaction; immunochromatographic test; influenza A H1N1; pandemic; non-invasive ventilation; necrotizing soft-tissue infection; inter-hospital transfer;

    Sammanfattning : Acute bacterial meningitis (ABM), influenza, and necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTIs) are diseases that in a short period of time can progress to become life threatening. Individuals with severe forms of these infections must be treated in an intensive care unit were monitoring and support of failing organs improve the chances of survival. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Role of extracellular ATP in immune mechanisms against infections

    Författare :Lalitha Tadala; Andrea Puhar; Sara I Wilson; Bernt Eric Uhlin; Mikael Sellin; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracellular ATP; invasive bacteria; Shigella; Listeria; plasma membrane ruffle; PIEZO1; infection; immune response; Hanta virus; molekylär cellbiologi; molecular cell biology;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammation is driven either by infection with pathogens or sterile stimuli, such as tissue damage or autoimmune diseases. Upon tissue damage, ATP is released passively from the dead or compromised cells. During stress, ATP can be secreted from the cells. Extracellular ATP (eATP) acts as an endogenous danger signal.

  7. 5. Invasive Staphylococcus aureus infections

    Författare :Gunnar Jacobsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Staphylococcus aureus; epidemiology; risk factors; clinical presentation; mortality; recurrence; sequelae; agr; serology; colonization;

    Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of septicaemia-related death. The aims of this thesis were to describe the epidemiology of invasive Staphylococcus aureus infections (ISA), the clinical course, and serological response in ISA in a prospective, population-based study.
