  1. 1. Infection, early entry events and replication processes of picornaviruses

    Författare :Helena Vandesande; A. Michael Lindberg; Jorma Hinkula; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Picornavirus; enterovirus; cardiovirus; echovirus; rhinovirus; coxsackievirus B; Saffold virus; early entry; replication; gastroenteritis; aseptic meningitis.; Virology; Virologi;

    Sammanfattning : The Picornaviridae is a large and diverse family of small RNA viruses, several of which have exhibited a distinct clinical and socioeconomic impact on human society. While many infections are asymptomatic, some members of this virus family have the potential to cause severe disease, including, but not limited to, poliomyelitis, myocarditis, meningitis, and foot-and-mouth disease.

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. Development of Real-Time PCR Based Methods for Detection of Viruses and Virus Antibodies

    Författare :Amal Elfaitouri; Jonas Blomberg; Helene Norder; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Microbiology; Real-time PCR; broadly targeted PCR; degenerated PCR; rTth DNA polymerase; thermolabile UNG; QPIA; IgM; Mikrobiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) technology has been very useful for diagnosis of viral diseases. QPCR has recently reached a level of sensitivity, simplicity, and reproducibility which allows a large number of samples to be screened rapidly, make it a suitable tool for the clinical virology diagnostics.

  5. 4. A Rapid Differential Diagnostic Method for Detection of Post-Neurosurgical Infections

    Författare :Amir Ramezani; Annette Theodorsson; Aki Laakso; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This work pertains to the application of a biochemical assay with the purpose of monitoring for and early discovery of an active bacterial infection through direct sampling and rapid testing of the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). A diagnostic device is described and evaluated, which aids in quickly discerning, verifying, or ruling out active infection at the injury site. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Potential role of anti-cytokine autoantibodies in the regulation of cytokine responses in infections and autoimmune diseases

    Författare :Rihab Abdel Magid Awad El Karim; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cytokines; autoantibodies; MS; AM; ST; MGUS; GBS; lower respiratory tract infection; mAbs;

    Sammanfattning : Anti-cytokine autoantibodies are serum proteins that bind cytokines and specifically interfere with measurements and biological activities of the corresponding cytokines. Plasma, sera, and CSF were obtained from patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), aseptic meningitis (AM), stroke (ST), and polyneuropathy, Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS). LÄS MER
