  1. 1. On morbidity and mortality in novovirus infection

    Författare :Lars Gustavsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; norovirus; mortality; lactate; viral shedding; CCL5; rectal swab;

    Sammanfattning : Norovirus causes epidemic gastroenteritis. The extent of excess mortality related to norovirus infections is not established and factors that influence the duration of viral shedding have not been determined. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Direct Demonstration of Influenza Virus and Mycoplasma Pneumoniae in the Respiratory Tract

    Författare :Anna Nilsson; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; polymeras chain reaction; influenza virus; Mycoplasma pneumoniae; diagnosis; respiratory tract infection; sample site; serial samples;

    Sammanfattning : Diagnostic tests based on nucleic acid amplification have become available for Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) and influenza viruses. Here, an MP PCR test detected 100% of infections during the first three symptomatic weeks, whereas classical serology detected 21% week 1, 56% week 2, and 100% week 3. LÄS MER

  4. 3. In situ characterization of immune cells mediating potential control of HIV infection in the female genital mucosa

    Författare :Anna Gibbs; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Heterosexual HIV transmission is the most common viral transmission route, worldwide, where young women are more susceptible to HIV infection than men. To establish a persistent infection the virus needs to cross the mucosal surface of the female genital tract (FGT). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Herpes virus retinitis - clinical and virological characteristics

    Författare :Joanna von Hofsten; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytomegalovirus retinitis; acute retinal necrosis; varicella zoster virus; herpes simplex virus;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we first aimed to determine whether there may be herpes virus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the aqueous humour of asymptomatic individuals (paper II). Presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein Barr virus (EBV) in aqueous humour was measured by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in patients eligible for cataract surgery.

  7. 5. Role of extracellular ATP in immune mechanisms against infections

    Författare :Lalitha Tadala; Andrea Puhar; Sara I Wilson; Bernt Eric Uhlin; Mikael Sellin; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracellular ATP; invasive bacteria; Shigella; Listeria; plasma membrane ruffle; PIEZO1; infection; immune response; Hanta virus; molekylär cellbiologi; molecular cell biology;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammation is driven either by infection with pathogens or sterile stimuli, such as tissue damage or autoimmune diseases. Upon tissue damage, ATP is released passively from the dead or compromised cells. During stress, ATP can be secreted from the cells. Extracellular ATP (eATP) acts as an endogenous danger signal.
