  1. 16. Pediatric Autoinflammatory Diseases: Conceptual, Clinical, and Mechanistic Dimensions

    Författare :Per Wekell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; child; fever; inflammation; cytokines; familial Mediterranean; neutrophils;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on three paediatric autoinflammatory diseases in Sweden today; familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) and synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO). In addition to describing autoinflammation with reference to these diseases, the thesis explores the concept of autoinflammatory disease by examining four existing definitions. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : We are unceasingly exposed to potentially harmful microorganisms. The battle against threatening infectious agents includes activation of both the innate and of the adaptive immune systems. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Acute febrile illness in preschool children in Zanzibar - Infectious aetiologies, diagnosis and treatment

    Författare :Kristina Elfving; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Children; Infections; Low-income country; Tanzania; malaria; pneumonia; antibiotics; fever; diagnosis; polymerase chain reaction; preschool; influenza virus; Respiratory syncytial virus; diarrhoea; norovirus; dengue virus;

    Sammanfattning : Background: A majority of the three million children in Africa that do not survive their fifth birthday die from infections that often start as a seemingly uncomplicated febrile illness. Primary health care workers frequently encounter febrile children with a negative malaria rapid diagnostic test (mRDT), in particular in places like Zanzibar with a considerable decline in malaria prevalence.

  5. 19. Spotted Fever Rickettsioses in Sweden : Aspects of Epidemiology, Clinical Manifestations and Co-infections

    Författare :Anders Lindblom; Kenneth Nilsson; Björn Olsen; Björn Herrmann; Clas Ahlm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rickettsia helvetica; Rickettsia felis; co-infection; erythema migrans; meningitis; serology; PCR; western blot; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Sammanfattning : The spotted fever group rickettsiae are emerging diseases. They cause damage in their hosts by invading the endothelium in small to medium-sized blood vessels, which results in vasculitis that can cause clinical manifestations from most organs. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Costs and benefits of immune system activation on physiology, behavior and offspring phenotype from an immunoecological perspective

    Författare :Sandra Sköld Chiriac; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunoecology; acute-phase response; sickness behaviors; energy expenditure; fever; hypothermia; life history; maternal effects; terminal investment; costs of immune responses; Taeniopygia guttata; Parus major; Cyanistes caeruleus;

    Sammanfattning : Pathogen challenges and host immune defenses can have substantial impact on life history patterns of animals. Biotic and abiotic factors may affect immunity in wild animals, influencing e.g., population dynamics and sexual selection. LÄS MER
