Infection control in the brain and the eye
Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Invasive Meningococcal Disease, Germany
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 Meningococci can cause clusters of disease. Specimens from 1,616 patients in Germany obtained over 42 months were typed by serogrouping and sequence typing of PorA and FetA and yielded a highly diverse dataset (Simpson's index 0.963). A retrospective spatiotemporal scan statistic (SaTScan) was applied in an automated fashion to identify clusters for ...

Complement Inhibition in the Clinic: Are We Doing Enough to Protect Patients From Infection?
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 7, July 2026.Excessive complement activation is implicated in a broad range of diseases. Therapeutic approaches targeting the complement cascade, from pathway‐selective inhibition to terminal blockade, can effectively control disease activity. However, increasing degrees of complement inhibition are associated with a heightened susceptibility to bacterial, viral ...

Surveillance of invasive meningococcal disease in Queensland, 2002
Communicable Diseases Intelligence, 2003 During 2002, 124 cases of invasive meningococcal disease were notified in Queensland. This was similar to the previous year (n=128). Four (3.2%) of the cases died. Trends by age and serogroup were generally similar to previous years and were consistent with the overall patterns of this disease in Australia. However, an apparent increase in serogroup C,
