The Risk of Meningitis After Cochlear Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 169, Issue 3, Page 467-481, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective This study aims to estimate the rate of postoperative meningitis (both immediate and long‐term) in patients following cochlear implants (CIs). It aims to do so through a systematic review and meta‐analysis of published studies tracking complications after CIs. Data Sources MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library.

Effectiveness of antibacterial agents against cell-invading bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes and Haemophilus influenzae

BMC Microbiology, 2021
Background Recurrent tonsillitis is one of the most common otolaryngological disorders caused by cell-invading bacteria, such as Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes) and Haemophilus influenzae.

Survival of nontypeableHaemophilus influenzaein macrophages [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2001
In this study we have investigated the ability of nonencapsulated, nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae, NT477 to survive in the J774 mouse macrophage-like cell line. Viable, intracellular nontypeable H. influenzae could still be recovered from macrophages 72 h after phagocytosis. In contrast, H.

Pathogenesis of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae infections in chronic suppurative lung disease

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 58, Issue 7, Page 1849-1860, July 2023., 2023
Abstract The respiratory tract antimicrobial defense system is a multilayered defense mechanism that relies upon mucociliary clearance and components of both the innate and adaptive immune systems to protect the lungs from inhaled or aspirated microorganisms.

Shielding of a Lipooligosaccharide IgM Epitope Allows Evasion of Neutrophil-Mediated Killing of an Invasive Strain of Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae

mBio, 2014
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae is a frequent cause of noninvasive mucosal inflammatory diseases but may also cause invasive diseases, such as sepsis and meningitis, especially in children and the elderly.

Interactions between the lung microbiome and host immunity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 104-121, June 2023., 2023
The lungs possess a strong defense system of mucus, structural cells, immune cells, and extracellular matrix that clears or inactivates causative agents. The immune defense mechanism of the lungs consists of innate immunity and adaptive immunity, and mucociliary clearance is the first line of defense in innate immunity.

Cepacia syndrome in cystic fibrosis: A systematic review of the literature and possible new perspectives in treatment

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1337-1343, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Cepacia syndrome (CS) is an acute, necrotizing pneumonia with a high mortality rate, occurring in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) infected with Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC). Due to its low incidence, data on this condition are limited. Methods We conducted a systematic review of the reported cases of CS by searching MEDLINE,

Mucus Hypersecretion in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Its Treatment

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Most patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) present with hallmark features of airway mucus hypersecretion, including cough and expectoration. Airway mucus function as a native immune system of the lung that severs to trap particulate matter and pathogens and allows them to clear from the lung via cough and ciliary ...

Haemophilus influenzae Protein D antibody suppression in a multi‐component vaccine formulation

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 12, Issue 12, Page 2191-2202, December 2022., 2022
When mice are injected with NTHi protein vaccine candidates Protein D or OMP26, there is a robust antibody response to each protein. However, when Protein D and OMP26 are mixed into a single vaccine formulation, mice fail to produce antibody to Protein D. We propose antibody suppression results from a physiochemical interaction or antigenic competition

Increasing Incidence of Invasive Haemophilus influenzae Disease in Adults, Utah, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Since the introduction of the Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine, the incidence of invasive H. influenzae type b disease among children has fallen dramatically, but the effect on invasive H. influenzae disease among adults may be more complex. In this
