1. Sweet syndrome associated with secondary nodular syphilis in an immunocompetent patient
Abstract Sweet syndrome is an inflammatory disease characterized by fever, neutrophilia, papules and erythematous plaques, and a skin neutrophilic infiltrate. Syphilis has been reported among the infectious causes of Sweet syndrome. Syphilis can present atypical manifestations; a rare presentation is nodular syphilis, characterized by nodules with granulomas

2. Immunohistochemical analysis of S100-positive epidermal Langerhans cells in dermatofibroma,
Abstract Dermatofibroma is a dermal fibrohistiocytic neoplasm. The Langerhans cells are the immunocompetent cells of the epidermis, and they represent the first defense barrier of the immune system towards the environment. The objective was to immunohistologically compare the densities of S100-positive Langerhans cells in the healthy peritumoral epidermis ag

3. Septicemia in an immunocompetent adult in the Czech Republic caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae nontoxigenic strain biotype mitis: emergence of invasive cases in Western Europe
ABSTRACT Dengue has been a significant public health problem in Colombia since the simultaneous circulation of the four dengue virus serotypes. The replicative fitness of dengue is a biological feature important for virus evolution and contributes to elucidating the behavior of virus populations and viral pathogenesis. However, it has not yet been studied in

4. Polyomaviruses BK and JC DNA infection in peripheral blood cells from blood donors
ABSTRACT Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of human polyomavirus (BK and JC viruses) infection in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy blood donors. Methods: The study included 250 healthy blood donors. Five-milliliter blood was drawn into sterile EDTA tubes and PBMCs were isolated from whole blood. The isolated PBMCs were counted and stor

5. Study of tissue inflammatory response in different mice strains infected by dematiaceous fungi Fonsecaea pedrosoi
Abstract: Background: Diseases caused by melanized fungi include mycetoma, chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycosis. This broad clinical spectrum depends on the dynamic interactions between etiologic agent and host. The immune status of the host influences on the development of the disease, as, an exemple. phaeohyphomicosis is more frequently observed in i

6. Fatal septic shock caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis phylogenetic species S1 in a young immunocompetent patient: a case report
Abstract The authors report the first case of fatal septic shock, a rare clinical presentation of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis S1. We also provide an immunological evaluation of the patient. Severe clinical signs such as organ dysfunction and digital gangrene occurred in this case. The patient presented a remarkable ce

7. Evolution of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis produced in mice treated with monoclonal antibodies anti GR-1/Ly-6G and infected with Aspergillus fumigatus strains which presented distincts patterns of production of elastase. / Evolução da aspergilose pulmonar invasiva produzida em camundongos tratados com anticorpos monoclonais anti GR-1/Ly-6G e infectados com amostras de Aspergillus fumigatus que apresentaram distintos padrões de produção de elastase
Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA) is an opportunistic fungal disease, caused mainly by Aspergillus fumigatus, that affects immunocompromised patients. To better understand this mycoses, we originally established in C57BL/6 mice an experimental model of neutrophils depletion by intraperitoneal inoculation of antibodies anti GR-1/Ly-6G, confirmed by total

8. Antigen-presenting cells transfected with Hsp65 messenger RNA fail to treat experimental tuberculosis
In the last several years, the use of dendritic cells has been studied as a therapeutic strategy against tumors. Dendritic cells can be pulsed with peptides or full-length protein, or they can be transfected with DNA or RNA. However, comparative studies suggest that transfecting dendritic cells with messenger RNA (mRNA) is superior to other antigen-loading t

9. Absence of Fas-L aggravates renal injury in acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection
Trypanosoma cruzi infection induces diverse alterations in immunocompetent cells and organs, myocarditis and congestive heart failure. However, the physiological network of disturbances imposed by the infection has not been addressed thoroughly. Regarding myocarditis induced by the infection, we observed in our previous work that Fas-L-/- mice (gld/gld) have

10. The adjuvant effect of the mesoporous nanostructurated SBA-15 silica in immunizations by the oral route. / Efeito adjuvante da sílica mesoporosa nanoestruturada SBA-15 na imunização pela via oral.
The nanostructured SBA-15 silica is a polymer that due to its physicochemical properties shows great potential as a mucosal adjuvant. Immunization by the oral route of mice with Hepatitis A vaccine or human gama globulin adsorbed/encapsulated in SBA-15 revealed increases in the IgG e IgA specific antibody titers and showed that this silica does not interfere

11. Da tolerância oral e seus efeitos indiretos na transferência adotiva singênica e na rejeição de aloenxertos
Oral tolerance is characterized by a reduction in specific immunological activities to a protein previously given by oral route. Parenteral exposure to antigens to which oral tolerance had been previously induced affects (inhibits) immunological activities connected to unrelated antigens, a phenomenon we have called indirect effects of oral tolerance. Herein

12. Aeromonas caviae septicemia in immunocompetent gastrointestinal carriers
Aeromonas caviae strains have been isolated from blood and stool cultures of three immunocompetent patients, residents of Northern India, who presented with community acquired septicemia without any recent history of diarrhea. Cell culture infectivity test performed on Hep-2 cells have shown substantial degree of invasiveness in the isolated strains. This ca
