  1. 1. Invasive Pneumococcal Infections

    Författare :Erik Backhaus; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Streptococcus pneumoniae; epidemiology; risk factors; pneumonia; meningitis; serotype; clonal complex;

    Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of disease, ranging from uncomplicated respiratory infections to severe invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), including bacteraemic pneumonia, septicaemia with unknown focus and meningitis. Case fatality rate (CFR) remains high and antibiotic resistance is increasing globally. S. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Treatment of arthritis with tumour necrosis factor antagonists. Clinical, immunological and biochemical aspects

    Författare :Meliha C Kapetanovic; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; ANA; infusion reaction; influenza vaccination; pneumococcal vaccination; COMP; TNF antagonists; spondylarthropathies; arthritis; rheumatoid arthritis;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract The treatment of arthritis has undergone a dramatic change since biological agents targeting specific mediators of the disease process have been introduced. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists have been shown to reduce signs and symptoms of disease and to retard the development of tissue damage in the majority of patients. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Infectious immunity and pneumococcal vaccine responses in multiple myeloma and related disorders

    Författare :Johanna Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; multiple myeloma; Waldenstrom s macroglobulinemia; MGUS; elderly; immunity; infection; pneumococcal vaccination; ELISA; opsonophagocytosis;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple myeloma (MM), Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM), and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) are B cell conditions associated with suppressed immune functions and susceptibility to infection. Severe pneumococcal disease is common not least in MM patients and vaccination is considered important, although the protective efficacy is debated. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Pneumococcal vaccination in inflammatory rheumatic disease and in splenectomy patients. From antibody response to memory cells

    Författare :Per Nived; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pneumokockvaccin; konjugerat; Pneumokockpolysackaridvaccin; Inflammatorisk reumatisk sjukdom; Antikroppssvar; Minnesceller; Splenektomi; Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine; rheumatic diseases; antibody response; Splenectomy; memory cells;

    Sammanfattning : Objectives:The overall aim of the dissertation is to examine antibody response to immunization with pneumococcal vaccine in patients with inflammatory rheumatic disease (IRD), in relation to disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) treatments, and in postsplenectomy patients.Methods:(I) Splenectomized patients without previous pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) immunization were invited to receive one dose 13-valent PCV (PCV13).

  7. 5. Pneumococcal vaccination in inflammatory rheumatic disease. Antibody response and protection against infections

    Författare :Johanna Nagel; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vaccination; pneumococci; inflammatory rheumatic disease;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractObjectives: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) have higher risk of serious infections than healthy individuals due to their illness, comorbidities and treatments. Streptococcus pneumoniae is responsible for 30-50% of community aquired pneumonia in Europe. LÄS MER
