A low prevalence of H pylori in HIV-positive patients
Helicobacter pylori has been extensively studied and proven to be the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer in the HIV-negative population. view more (2007-10-17)
Chronic fatigue syndrome linked to stomach virus
Chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as ME (myalgic encephalitis), is linked to a stomach virus, suggests research published ahead of print in Journal of Clinical Pathology. view more (2007-09-14)
Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis have increased incidence of other chronic illnesses
Patients who suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) also tend to suffer from other chronic illnesses, like asthma, hypertension, and arthritis. view more (2009-10-05)
oes peripheral T-lymphocyte subpopulations correlate with hepatitis B virus load?
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a dynamic process with variable biochemical, virological and histological profiles at different stages of the infection, depending on host and viral factors. Furthermore, this profile may change at a variable pace over time. view more (2009-07-29)
Chronic infection may add to developing-world deaths
Worldwide, nearly 2 million people per year die from diarrhea, the vast majority of them in poor countries in Africa and Asia. The disease accounts for 18 percent of all deaths among children - and yet is almost always preventable with proper treatment. view more (2009-02-13)
Who will recover spontaneously from hepatitis C virus infection
More than 3% of world population is infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The outcome of HCV infections is either self recovery or chronic hepatitis, and many of the chronic infections will develop into liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. view more (2007-08-30)
UCLA scientists identify how key protein keeps chronic infection in check
Why is the immune system able to fight off some viruses but not others, leading to chronic, life-threatening infections like HIV and hepatitis C? view more (2009-05-08)
Periodontitis is associated with pregnancy complications
Results of a new study support the hypothesis that chronic periodontal infection increases the risk of developing preeclampsia in pregnant women. view more (2006-02-06)
Hit-and-run injury to the brain
A seven-year tracking study has prompted scientists to suggest that chronic fatigue syndrome could be the result of brain injuries inflicted during the early stages of glandular fever. view more (2006-03-02)
How do the rules of immunity change during chronic infections?
After a viral infection, a small percentage of the T cells generated to kill virus-infected cells remain on guard to establish long-term immunity. view more (2007-04-10)
Immune exhaustion driven by antigen in chronic viral infection
A main reason why viruses such as HIV or hepatitis C persist despite a vigorous initial immune response is exhaustion. The T cells, or white blood cells, fighting a chronic infection eventually wear out. view more (2009-05-14)
Hyperferritinemia is another surrogate marker of advanced liver disease
High serum ferritin, being a hallmark of hereditary hemochromatosis , is frequently found in chronic hepatitis C, alcoholic or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients. view more (2009-05-13)
Chronic infection persists by targeting stromal cell network in lymphoid organs
One of the biggest challenges to treating infectious diseases and developing preventive vaccines is the ability of many chronic infections to suppress the immune T-cell response over time. view more (2007-09-19)
PET Scans Could Provide Insight Into HIV-1 Progression (pp 945, 959)
An article and a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide preliminary data suggesting that positron emission tomography (PET) scans could identify the effect of HIV-1 infection on the body's lymphatic system. Authors of the studies suggest that activation of specific lymph nodes could determine the stage of HIV-1 infection, with... view more... (2003-09-17)
Protein opens hope of treatment for cystic fibrosis patients
Scientists have finally identified a direct role for the missing protein that leaves cystic fibrosis patients open to attack from lung-damaging bacteria, the main reason most of them die before their 35th birthday, scientists heard today (Thursday 11 September 2008) at the Society for General Microbiology's Autumn meeting being held this week at... view more...

When acute hepatitis develops into chronic hepatitis
To achieve this, Carlos A. Guzmán, Head of the "Vaccinology and Applied Microbiology" working group and Robert Geffers, Head of the "Gene Expression Analysis" platform, examined the incidence and species of special defence cells, T helper cells, along with their role in the development of the disease in conjunction with... view more...

Researchers explore the emerging role of infection in Alzheimer's disease
A number of chronic diseases are in fact caused by one or more infectious agents. For example, stomach ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori, chronic lung disease in newborns and chronic asthma in adults are both caused by Mycoplasmas and Chlamydia pneumonia, while some other pathogens have been associated with atherosclerosis. view more (2008-05-23)
Attention: Extra-hepatic manifestation of hepatitis C virus infection
In 1994, the team of Tchernev and Petrova from Alexandrovska Hospital in Sofia examined a female patient with liver cirrhosis caused by chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV). view more (2008-01-17)
Heavy drinking increases risk of infection after surgery
Research news from the British Journal of Surgery 17 October 2003: Nosocomial infection is a risk faced by any patient undergoing general surgical procedures. A recent study published in the British Journal of Surgery reveals that some patients increase this inevitable risk to themselves and others through regular, heavy drinking prior to hospital... view more...

TB -- hiding in plain sight
Current research suggests that Mycobacterium tuberculosis can evade the immune response. view more (2009-05-22)
