    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract infection; acute cystitis; Immunomodulation; IL-1beta; hyper inflammatory disorder; neurokinins;

    Sammanfattning : hand in the fight against resistant microbes. This thesis discusses the feasibility and potential of specific immunotherapy in treating acute bacterial infections and chronic sequels. The infection model is acute cystitis; the most common form of urinary tract infection, affecting millions of patients annually. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Molecular determinants of disease severity in urinary tract infection

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Asymptomatic bacteriuria; urinary tract infection; acute pyelonephritis; cystitis; Escherichia coli 83972; host response; NlpD; RNA Polymerase II; transcription regulation; inflammasome; Il-1β; ASC; NLRP-3; hyper-inflammatory disorder; MMP-7; IL-1RA; genetic susceptibility; IRF-7; siRNA therapy; P fimbriae; type 1 fimbriae;

    Sammanfattning : In the urinary tract, Escherichia coli infection may result in life-threatening disease, or asymptomatic bacterial carriage, comparable to bacterial commensalism in the gut. Pathogenic strains trigger a disease provoking host response which differs depending on the infected organ. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Communicable diseases; acute phase proteins; adult; Administration Oral; aminoglycosides; amyloidosis; antibiotics; bacterial infections; body temperature; C-reactive protein; cefuroxime; cystitis; cytokines; elderly; infant; interleukin-6; newborn; pyelonephritis; serum amyloid A protein; virus diseases; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious diseases; Infektionssjukdomar;

    Sammanfattning : Serum amyloid A protein (SAA) is an acute phase protein that has recently gained increasing interest as a potential marker for disease and treatment monitoring. We investigated SAA and CRP levels in (a) patients with various common infectious diseases (n=98), (b) patients with pyelonephritis (n=37) versus patients with cystitis (n=32), (c) healthy individuals of varying ages (n=231), (d) very immature newborn infants with or without nosocomial infections (NIs) (n=72) and (e) patients with bacterial infections treated with cefuroxime (n=81).

  5. 4. Stem cell transplantation : home care, graft-versus-host disease and costs

    Författare :Britt-Marie Svahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Stem-cell transplantation; home-care; GVHD; costs;

    Sammanfattning : Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) is used to treat malignant and non-malignant diseases of the immunohematopoietic system. Results in terms of survival rate and less complications are continually improving due to better knowledge, supportive care, immunosuppression, new drugs against infections and HLA-typing techniques.

  7. 5. The importance of Escherichia coli fimbriae in urinary tract infection

    Författare :Mats Söderhäll; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a major bacterial infectious disease among women. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is the most dominant causative agent. LÄS MER
