  1. 1. On the epidemiology, clinical presentation and transmission of respiratory viral infections

    Författare :Nicklas Sundell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; respiratory viruses; measles; influenza; epidemiology; meteorological factors; real-time PCR; viral transmission; lower respiratory tract infection;

    Sammanfattning : Respiratory viral infections encompass a large heterogenous group of pathogens that constitute a major burden of disease globally. The various routes of transmission including airborne spread make them difficult to control. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Mechanisms underlying impaired humoral immunity in primary and chronic HIV-1 infection

    Författare :Kehmia Titanji; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HIV-1 infection; HIV-2 infection; B cells; primary HIV-1 infection; immune activation; hypergammaglobulinemia; long-term humoral immunity; antiretroviral therapy;

    Sammanfattning : B cells of HIV-1-infected patients have both phenotypic and functional dysfunctions which may be important in HIV-1 pathogenesis. Immune activation during HIV infection is an essential part of the body s defense against the virus, but may be the root cause of B cell dysfunctions. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Risk factors for measles mortality : studies from Kenya and 19th century Stockholm

    Författare :Bo Burström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :measles mortality; immunization; crowding; clustering; social factors; child;

    Sammanfattning : Measles kills about 1 million children per year in low-income developing countries. In many industrialized countries, the transmission of measles and its lethal effects have become controlled through immunization and social developments in general. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Seroepidemiology of vaccine-preventable and emerging RNA viruses in Rwanda
