The Origins of Allergy: An Outside‐In, Bioenergetic Hypothesis

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergic disease has risen too rapidly for inherited susceptibility to explain it, and the risk variants so far reported lie in the epithelial barrier and in type‐2 immunity. We propose a five‐layer model in which epithelial barrier and bioenergetic dysfunction may precede and promote type‐2 immune deviation rather than arise solely as its ...

Characterization of Haemophilus influenzae type b fimbriae [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1984
We confirmed that the fimbriae of Haemophilus influenzae type b conferred hemagglutinating activity (HA) towards human erythrocytes, and erythrocytes of certain other species. Most (17/25) cerebrospinal fluid isolates lacked detectable HA on direct testing, but selective enrichment for fimbriation (f+) indicated that 22 of 25 strains could produce ...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Children With Bloodstream Infections: A Population‐Based Study in Stockholm, Sweden

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim We retrospectively evaluated trends in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in paediatric bloodstream infections and assessed changes in antimicrobial prescription patterns over a 20‐year period. Methods We analysed positive blood cultures from children admitted with suspected serious infection between 1998 and 2018.

Frequency, Burden and Pathogens of Acute Respiratory Illness in Very Preterm Infants During Infancy

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe the frequency, burden, and pathogen profile of acute respiratory illnesses (ARIs) in very preterm infants during the first year after neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge. Methods Very preterm infants were followed prospectively (August 2015–January 2017) with monthly assessments of symptoms, medication use, and ...

Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis Suggested That Neutrophils Predominated the Airways of Children With the Respiratory Syncytial Virus

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a predominant aetiology of early‐life respiratory infections. This systematic review and meta‐analysis compared the cell types involved in airways inflammation in children with and without RSV, noting that immune responses can influence long‐term complications and may involve different inflammatory ...

Evolution of Bacterial Yield and Antimicrobial Resistance in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Patients in a Dedicated Sinus Centre

Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Antibiotics are frequently prescribed for acute exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, antimicrobial resistance presents a challenge for the ongoing and future management of CRS patients. Objective This study aims to examine the current and past microbiological yield and antimicrobial resistance profile in a ...
