Outer membrane protein profiles of paired nasopharyngeal and middle ear isolates of nontypable Haemophilus influenzae from Mexican children with acute otitis media. (1/1382)

We studied nontypable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) isolates from simultaneous cultures of nasopharyngeal exudates (NEs) and middle ear fluids (MEFs) obtained by tympanocentesis from 57 children with acute otitis media (AOM). Preparations of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) from 14 pairs of NTHi strains recovered from NEs and MEFs from 10 children with unilateral AOM and four with bilateral AOM were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The NTHi subtypes were determined by comparing the OMP profiles of the isolated strains with those of eight reference NTHi subtypes. Of the 14 pairs, 10 (71%) were identical, and one (8%) was different; three strains isolated from NEs (21%) did not correspond to any of the reference subtypes (nonsubtypable). Subtypes 4, 6, 5, 3, and 8 were isolated in the present study, thereby showing that their distribution is similar to that of subtypes isolated from children with AOM in the United States and suggesting that common otogenic strains are widely distributed in North America.  (+info)

Nasopharyngeal-associated lymphoreticular tissue (NALT) immunity: fimbriae-specific Th1 and Th2 cell-regulated IgA responses for the inhibition of bacterial attachment to epithelial cells and subsequent inflammatory cytokine production. (2/1382)

To investigate the antibacterial activity of mucosal Th1 and Th2 immune responses induced nasally and orally, mice were immunized with mucosal vaccine containing fimbrial protein of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a causative agent for a destructive chronic inflammation in the periodontium, and cholera toxin (CT) as mucosal adjuvant. Nasal vaccine containing low doses of fimbriae (10 micrograms) and CT (1 microgram) induced Ag-specific Th1/Th2-type response in CD4+ T cells in mucosal effector tissues, including nasal passage and submandibular glands, which accounted for the generation of Ag-specific IgA-producing cells. In contrast, oral immunization required higher amounts of fimbriae and CT for the induction of Ag-specific IgA responses. Fimbriae-specific IgA mAbs generated from submandibular glands of nasally immunized mice inhibited P. gingivalis attachment to and reduced subsequent inflammatory cytokine production from epithelial cells. These findings suggest that nasal vaccination is an effective immunization regimen for the induction of Ag-specific Th1 and Th2 cell-driven IgA immune responses that possess the ability to inhibit bacterial attachment to epithelial cells and subsequent inflammatory cytokine production.  (+info)

MR appearance of rhinoscleroma. (3/1382)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We describe the MR imaging appearance of rhinoscleroma, an endemic, chronic, granulomatous disease whose causative agent is Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. METHODS: The study included 15 patients (nine males and six females; mean age, 25 years; range, 13-36 years) with rhinoscleroma. MR imaging was performed in all patients. The signal intensity of the nasal masses was compared with that of fat, muscle, and CSF on both T1- and T2-weighted images. All cases were proved by histopathologic examination. RESULTS: The nasal masses were bilateral and symmetrical (n = 6), asymmetrical (n = 4), or unilateral (n = 5). They extended through the anterior nares (n = 9) or posterior choana into the nasopharynx (n = 3). They obstructed the ostiomeatal units with retained secretions in the related sinuses (n = 10). On T1-weighted images, rhinoscleroma showed striking (n = 9) or mild (n = 6) high signal intensity relative to muscle and CSF, but less hyperintensity than fat. On T2-weighted images, the nasal masses showed homogeneous high signal intensity (n = 10) or heterogeneous high signal intensity associated with hypointense foci (n = 5). They were hyperintense relative to fat and muscle, but less hyperintense than CSF. CONCLUSION: The hypertrophic stage of rhinoscleroma has characteristic mild to marked high signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted MR images.  (+info)

Coinfection with influenza B virus does not affect association of Neisseria meningitidis with human nasopharyngeal mucosa in organ culture. (4/1382)

There is an epidemiological association between influenza virus infection and meningococcal disease. Proposed mechanisms are the destruction of the normal epithelial barrier function of the upper respiratory tract by influenza virus or the expression of human or viral surface-exposed proteins that enhance bacterial adherence and/or invasion. To test these hypotheses, human nasopharyngeal mucosa specimens from a total of 19 individual donors were successfully infected with influenza B virus and then inoculated with serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis. Subsequent bacterial association with the epithelial surface was measured in three separate series of experiments by using transmission electron microscopy (n = 6), scanning electron microscopy (n = 6), and counting of viable bacteria within homogenates of explants (n = 7). Penetration of the mucosa was estimated by measuring the count of viable bacteria recovered from explants after exposure to sodium taurocholate. Bacterial association with the surface of explants was time dependent over 24 h of superinfection. Influenza virus did not positively or negatively influence bacterial attachment to or penetration of explant mucosa compared to those of uninfected controls, even when the period of preincubation with virus was extended to 7 days. When proteins were purified from mucosal epithelium and immobilized on nitrocellulose membranes, N. meningitidis attached predominantly to bands corresponding to proteins of 210 and 130 kDa. In the presence of influenza virus infection, these proteins were gradually lost over the course of 72 h. In conclusion, influenza B virus did not increase association of serogroup B N. meningitidis with human nasopharyngeal mucosa.  (+info)

Bordetella holmesii-like organisms isolated from Massachusetts patients with pertussis-like symptoms. (5/1382)

We isolated Bordetella holmesii, generally associated with septicemia in patients with underlying conditions, from nasopharyngeal specimens of otherwise healthy young persons with a cough. The proportion of B. holmesii-positive specimens submitted to the Massachusetts State Laboratory Institute increased from 1995 to 1998.  (+info)

Networks and groups within the genus Neisseria: analysis of argF, recA, rho, and 16S rRNA sequences from human Neisseria species. (6/1382)

To understand the pattern of nucleotide sequence variation among bacteria that frequently exchange chromosomal genes, we analyzed sequences of the recA, argF, and rho genes, as well as part of the small-subunit (16S) rRNA gene, from about 50 isolates of human commensal Neisseria species and the pathogenic N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae. Almost all isolates of these species could be assigned to five phylogenetic groups that are found for all genes examined and generally are supported by high bootstrap values. In contrast, the phylogenetic relationships among groups varied according to the gene analyzed with notable incongruences involving N. cinerea and N. lactamica. Further analysis using split decomposition showed that for each gene, including 16S rRNA, the patterns of sequence divergence within N. meningitidis and closely related species were inconsistent with a bifurcating treelike phylogeny and better represented by an interconnected network. These data indicate that the human commensal Neisseria species can be separated into discrete groups of related species but that the relationships both within and among these groups, including those reconstructed using 16S rRNA, have been distorted by interspecies recombination events.  (+info)

Outcomes of Bordetella infections in vaccinated children: effects of bacterial number in the nasopharynx and patient age. (7/1382)

Five outbreaks of infection (three pertussis, one parapertussis, and one mixed) in schools were studied prospectively. Nasopharyngeal swabs were obtained from a total of 697 children for culture of Bordetella organisms. Of 50 vaccinated children with culture-confirmed Bordetella infections (29 with pertussis and 21 parapertussis), 40 were symptomatic and 10 remained symptom-free. Smaller numbers of colonies were recovered from the nasopharyngeal swabs of the asymptomatic children than from those of the symptomatic children. Older children had longer durations of illness than younger ones. Our results indicate that during outbreaks children who do not develop disease may have small amounts of Bordetella organisms in their nasopharynges and/or better immune defenses against the disease.  (+info)

A technique to measure the ability of the human nose to warm and humidify air. (8/1382)

To assess the ability of the nose to warm and humidify inhaled air, we developed a nasopharyngeal probe and measured the temperature and humidity of air exiting the nasal cavity. We delivered cold, dry air (19-1 degrees C, <10% relative humidity) or hot, humid air (37 degrees C, >90% relative humidity) to the nose via a nasal mask at flow rates of 5, 10, and 20 l/min. We used a water gradient across the nose (water content in nasopharynx minus water content of delivered air) to assess nasal function. We studied the characteristics of nasal air conditioning in 22 asymptomatic, seasonally allergic subjects (out of their allergy season) and 11 nonallergic normal subjects. Inhalation of hot, humid air at increasingly higher flow rates had little effect on both the relative humidity and the temperature of air in the nasopharynx. In both groups, increasing the flow of cold, dry air lowered both the temperature and the water content of the inspired air measured in the nasopharynx, although the relative humidity remained at 100%. Water gradient values obtained during cold dry air challenges on separate days showed reproducibility in both allergic and nonallergic subjects. After exposure to cold, dry air, the water gradient was significantly lower in allergic than in nonallergic subjects (1,430 +/- 45 vs. 1,718 +/- 141 mg; P = 0.02), suggesting an impairment in their ability to warm and humidify inhaled air.  (+info)

Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage prevalence in Nepal: evaluation of a method for delayed transport of samples from remote...
BACKGROUND: Pneumococcal disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in young children in Nepal, and currently available pneumococcal conjugate vaccines offer moderate coverage of invasive disease isolates. METHODS: A prevalence study of children aged 1.5 to 24 months in urban and rural Nepal was conducted. In the urban group, nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) were transported using silica desiccant packages (SDP) with delayed processing (2 weeks), or skim-milk-tryptone-glucose-glycerin (STGG) with immediate processing (within 8 hours). Pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage prevalence, serogroup/type distribution and isolate genotypes (as defined by multilocus sequence typing) were determined. RESULTS: 1101 children were enrolled into the study: 574 in the urban group and 527 in the rural group. Overall carriage prevalence based on culture from specimens transported and stored in STGG was 58.7% (337/574), compared to 40.9% (235/574) in SDP. There was concordance of detection of pneumococcus in 67%

The COVID-19 Diagnostic Dilemma: a Clinicians Perspective | Journal of Clinical MicrobiologyThe COVID-19 Diagnostic Dilemma: a Clinicians Perspective | Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Even before the first case of COVID-19 was identified in the United States, there were concerns regarding how to diagnose this infection among persons presenting with a compatible clinical syndrome who did not have any known sick contacts or other epidemiologic risk factors for infection. Given the successful implementation of molecular assays to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA from a nasopharyngeal swab specimen in many other countries that were affected by the pandemic before the United States was and the excellent performance characteristics and availability of this type of assay for many other respiratory infections, from a clinicians perspective, it was unclear that there was much of a diagnostic challenge to surmount. However, after the pandemic began to spread in the United States, it immediately became clear that the availability of this diagnostic testing needed to be rapidly developed and scaled up. SARS-CoV-2 molecular testing was initially performed only at the CDC, with local state health ...

Factors associated with pneumococcal carriage in healthy Dutch infants: the generation R studyFactors associated with pneumococcal carriage in healthy Dutch infants: the generation R study
The prevalence of serotypes covered by the 7-valent conjugate vaccine increased in the first year of life. Siblings, day care attendance, and previous pneumococcal carriage were independent factors associated with pneumococcal carriage.

The current conjugate vaccine is effective in the prevention of both pneumococcal carriage and disease in young children however, it is not as effective against pneumonia and otitis media (ear infection) and it only prevents infection by a small number of pneumococcal types. As such, there is a need for new vaccines and it has recently been suggested that pneumococcal carriage, rather than disease, could be used as an endpoint in vaccine trials.

The role of phase variation of lic1A, lic2A and lic3A in the ability of Haemophilus influenzae type b to colonize the nasopharynx, bloodstream and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of infants was investigated. This was achieved by using PCR to determine the number of 5′-CAAT-3′ repeats present in each gene, which is indicative of whether each ORF can be expressed. Multiple PCR products of different intensities were amplified from all three genes at each site sampled. This indicated that the nasopharynx, bloodstream and CSF were colonized by a heterogeneous population of organisms, expressing different combinations of lic genes. At each site however, a predominant PCR product was amplified from each gene, indicating that organisms with this genotype were the most abundant. The number of 5′-CAAT-3′ repeats in this predominant product varied depending upon whether organisms were isolated from the nasopharynx, bloodstream or CSF. These observations suggest that the expression of different combinations of

Interleukin-17A mediates acquired immunity to pneumococcal colonization - D-Scholarship@PittInterleukin-17A mediates acquired immunity to pneumococcal colonization - [email protected]
Although anticapsular antibodies confer serotype-specific immunity to pneumococci, children increase their ability to clear colonization before these antibodies appear, suggesting involvement of other mechanisms. We previously reported that intranasal immunization of mice with pneumococci confers CD4+ T cell-dependent, antibody- and serotype-independent protection against colonization. Here we show that this immunity, rather than preventing initiation of carriage, accelerates clearance over several days, accompanied by neutrophilic infiltration of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Adoptive transfer of immune CD4+ T cells was sufficient to confer immunity to naïve RAG1 -/- mice. A critical role of interleukin (IL)-17A was demonstrated: mice lacking interferon-γ or IL-4 were protected, but not mice lacking IL-17A receptor or mice with neutrophil depletion. In vitro expression of IL-17A in response to pneumococci was assayed: lymphoid tissue from vaccinated mice expressed significantly more IL-17A than ...

Nasopharyngeal carriage of potential pathogens is important as it is both the major source of transmission and the prerequisite of invasive disease. New methods for detecting carriage could improve comfort, accuracy and laboratory utility. The aims of this study were to compare the sensitivities of a nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) and a nasal wash (NW) in detecting potential respiratory pathogens in healthy adults using microbiological culture and PCR. Healthy volunteers attended for nasal washing and brushing of the posterior nasopharynx. Conventional and real-time PCR were used to detect pneumococcus and meningococcus. Statistical differences between the two nasal sampling methods were determined using a nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test; differences between culture and PCR methods were determined using the McNemar test. Nasal washing was more comfortable for volunteers than swabbing (n = 24). In detection by culture, the NW was significantly more likely to detect pathogens than the NPS (p | 0.00001).

We performed culture-based and PCR-based tests for pneumococcal identification and serotyping from carriage specimens collected in rural and urban Kenya. Nasopharyngeal specimens from 237 healthy children |5 years old (C-NPs) and combined nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal specimens from 158 adults (A-NP/OPs, 118 HIV-positive) were assessed using pneumococcal isolation (following broth culture enrichment) with Quellung-based serotyping, real-time lytA-PCR, and conventional multiplexed PCR-serotyping (cmPCR). Culture-based testing from C-NPs, HIV-positive A-NP/OPs, and HIV-negative A-NP/OPs revealed 85.2%, 40.7%, and 12.5% pneumococcal carriage, respectively. In contrast, cmPCR serotypes were found in 93.2%, 98.3%, and 95.0% of these sets, respectively. Two of 16 lytA-negative C-NPs and 26 of 28 lytA-negative A-NP/OPs were cmPCR-positive for 1-10 serotypes (sts) or serogroups (sgs). A-NP/OPs averaged 5.5 cmPCR serotypes/serogroups (5.2 in HIV-positive, 7.1 in HIV-negative) and C-NPs averaged 1.5 cmPCR

Background. Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is the leading cause of childhood deaths in most developing countries and the world (?) and are the most common causes of hospital and out-patient visits within the EU, comprising 1 of 3 admissions annually. In general, the over-prescription and use of broad-spectrum antibiotics are common practices that lead to the evolution and development of resistance in infectious bacteria and will lead to loss of time and resources in patient handling and adverse patient outcomes. Conventional approaches have depended upon cultivation of bacteria with subsequent testing for antibiotic sensitivity. Therefore, reliable and time-effective microbiological diagnostics are essential for more effective treatment of respiratory infections. In this project, we apply state-of-the-art proteomics techniques for identifications of pathogens and antibiotic resistance from clinical samples, without prior cultivation. Material and methods.

What is the science behind PCR testing? PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing examines DNA or RNA within a sample to determine if this matches the genetic material of an antigen. The name of the process refers to the replication of DNA that is required to ensure that there is enough DNA to be analysed.. DNA and RNA carry genetic material. DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid, which copies and stores genetic information within an organism and allows for this to be passed onto offspring. It has two strands and takes the form of a double helix. RNA stands for Ribonucleic Acid, and its role is to take genetic material within DNA and use this to build proteins. RNA has one strand and is shorter than DNA.. Initially, the individual must take a sample from the nasopharynx using a swab-like device. The nasopharynx is the upper part of the throat that is located behind the nose. The swab-like device will collect droplets of saliva, mucous and any DNA or RNA of an antigen if a person is ...

BACKGROUND: The SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2) is responsible for the infectious respiratory disease called COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease 2019). In response to the growing COVID-19 pandemic, point-of-care (POC) tests have been developed to detect specific antibodies, IgG and IgM, to SARS-CoV-2 virus in human whole blood. We conducted a prospective observational study to evaluate the performance of two POC tests, COVID-PRESTO® and COVID-DUO®, compared to the gold standard, RT-PCR (real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction). METHODS: RT-PCR testing of SARS-Cov-2 was performed from nasopharyngeal swab specimens collected in adult patients visiting the infectious disease department at the hospital (Orléans, France). Capillary whole blood (CWB) samples from the fingertip taken at different time points after onset of the disease were tested with POC tests. The specificity and sensitivity of the rapid test kits compared to test of reference (RT-PCR) were ...

Stability of serotypes during nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae. - Oxford Neuroscience
Serotype changes among natural isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae are well documented and occur by recombinational exchanges at the capsular biosynthetic locus. However, the frequency with which this phenomenon occurs within the nasopharynx of children is not clear and is likely to be highest in the nasopharynx of children, who have high rates of pneumococcal carriage. A birth cohort of 100 infants was studied, and pneumococci were recovered from nasopharyngeal samples taken at monthly intervals during the first 6 months of life and then at 2-monthly intervals until the age of 2 years. Among the 1,353 nasopharyngeal samples were 523 that contained presumptive pneumococci, and three colonies from each were serotyped. A total of 333 isolates, including all isolates of differing serotypes from the same child, were characterized by multilocus sequence typing. Sixty-eight children carried multiple serotypes during the first 2 years of life. Two children carried a typeable and a nonserotypeable pneumococcus

There is growing concern that interventions that alter microbial ecology can adversely affect health. We characterised the impact of the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) on pneumococcal carriage and the bacterial component of the nasopharyngeal microbiome during infancy. Newborns were recruited into three groups as follows: Group1 (n = 33) was the control group and comprised infants who received PCV7 after 6 months and came from unvaccinated communities. Group 2 (n = 30) came from unvaccinated communities and Group 3 (n = 39) came from vaccinated communities. Both group 2 and 3 received PCV7 at 2, 3 and 4 months. Culture and 16 S rRNA gene sequencing were performed on nasopharyngeal specimens collected at regular intervals from infants. Nasopharyngeal carriage of PCV7 serotypes in Group 1 was significantly higher than in Group 2 and 3 (p | 0.01). However, pneumococcal carriage remained comparable due to an expansion of non-vaccine serotypes in Groups 2 and 3. Determination of

OBJECTIVE To compare percentages of mast cells in lymph node (LN) aspirate samples from clinically normal dogs, dogs with allergic dermatologic disease (ADD), and dogs with cutaneous mast cell tumors (MCTs). DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional study. ANIMALS 20 healthy dogs (group 1), 20 dogs with ADD (group 2), and 20 dogs with an MCT on the head or limbs (group 3). PROCEDURES LN aspirate samples were obtained from easily accessible LNs in group 1, affected skin regions in group 2, and the likely draining LN or LNs of the MCT in group 3; the percentage of mast cells was manually determined for each LN. For group 3, LNs were cytologically categorized with a modified version of a published metastasis categorization scheme. RESULTS Median (range) percentage of mast cells in aspirate samples was 0% (0% to 0.1%) for group 1, 0.05% (0% to 0.55%) for group 2, and 0.4% (0% to 77.4%) for group 3. In group 3, 16 LNs (13 dogs) were palpably normal in size; 6 of these had evidence of possible or certain metastasis.

Nasopharynx surface, animated coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Seen here are: squamous nasal epithelial cells, a ciliated nasal epithelial cell and an M cell (lymphoepithelium). The nasopharynx lies behind the nose and above the level of the soft palate. Stratified squamous nasal epithelial cells line the surface of the nasopharynx (tightly packed together in this image). The epithelial cell surfaces are covered with microvilli that increase the cell surface area. Mucus, secreted by cells in the epithelial lining (not seen), traps foreign objects, preventing them from entering the lungs. Near the centre of the image is a ciliated nasal epithelial cell. They have hair-like structures known as cilia. Coordinated, beating of the cilia propels the mucus to the back of the pharynx, where it is swallowed. The M-cell is part of the lymphoepithelium and aids in transporting foreign antigens to the underlying lymphoid follicles. Magnification: x1, 200 ...

Viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) predisposes to bacterial pneumonia possibly by facilitating growth of bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae colonising the nasopharynx. We investigated whether viral URTI is temporally associated with an increase in nasopharyngeal pneumococcal concentration. Episodes of symptomatic RSV or rhinovirus URTI among children ,5 years were identifed from a longitudinal household study in rural Kenya. lytA and alu PCR were performed on nasopharyngeal samples collected twice-weekly, to measure the pneumococcal concentration adjusted for the concentration of human DNA present. Pneumococcal concentration increased with a foldchange of 3.80 (95%CI 1.95-7.40), with acquisition of RSV or rhinovirus, during 51 URTI episodes among 42 children. In repeated swabs from the baseline period, in the two weeks before URTI developed, within-episode variation was broad; within +/−112-fold range of the geometric mean. We observed only a small increase in nasopharyngeal ...

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) remains a leading cause of infectious mortality worldwide. Acquisition of the pneumococcus occurs at the nasopharyngeal mucosa and elicits a rapid influx of neutrophils (PMNs) to the nasal lumen. However, the pneumococcus efficiently eludes clearance by PMNs and persists in the nasopharynx weeks after the acute inflammatory response recedes, amplifying the risk of invasive disease. A growing number of studies implicate the secreted phospholipid platelet-activating factor (PAF) as an important local mediator of PMN recruitment and activation in response to mucosal infections. While the pneumococcus has been shown to secrete a cell wall-bound esterase, Pce, which efficiently hydrolyzes PAF in vitro, it remains unknown whether regulation of local PAF concentration influences pneumococcal survival during colonization. Methods: We make use of atraumatic colonization of the murine nasopharynx to model carriage in the human upper respiratory ...

Longitudinal nasopharyngeal carriage and antibiotic resistance of resp by Kim M. Hare, Rosalyn J. Singleton et al.Longitudinal nasopharyngeal carriage and antibiotic resistance of resp by Kim M. Hare, Rosalyn J. Singleton et al.
Background Indigenous children in Australia and Alaska have very high rates of chronic suppurative lung disease (CSLD)/bronchiectasis. Antibiotics, including frequent or long-term azithromycin in Australia and short-term beta-lactam therapy in both countries, are often prescribed to treat these patients. In the Bronchiectasis Observational Study we examined over several years the nasopharyngeal carriage and antibiotic resistance of respiratory bacteria in these two PCV7-vaccinated populations. Methods Indigenous children aged 0.5-8.9 years with CSLD/bronchiectasis from remote Australia (n = 79) and Alaska (n = 41) were enrolled in a prospective cohort study during 2004-8. At scheduled study visits until 2010 antibiotic use in the preceding 2-weeks was recorded and nasopharyngeal swabs collected for culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Analysis of respiratory bacterial carriage and antibiotic resistance was by baseline and final swabs, and total swabs by year. Results Streptococcus

The study aim was to investigate the prevalence and clinical relevance of viral findings by multiplex PCR from the nasopharynx of clinically septic patients during a winter season. During 11 weeks of the influenza epidemic period in January-March 2012, consecutive adult patients suspected to be septic (n = 432) were analyzed with cultures from blood and nasopharynx plus multiplex PCR for respiratory viruses on the nasopharyngeal specimen. The results were compared with those from microbiology analyses ordered as part of standard care. During the winter season, viral respiratory pathogens, mainly influenza A virus, human metapneumovirus, coronavirus, and respiratory syncytial virus were clinically underdiagnosed in 70% of patients positive by the multiplex PCR assay. During the first four weeks of the influenza epidemic, few tests for influenza were ordered by clinicians, indicating low awareness that the epidemic had started. Nasopharyngeal findings of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus ...

Use of MMP-8 and MMP-9 to assess disease severity in children with viral lower respiratory tract infections.Use of MMP-8 and MMP-9 to assess disease severity in children with viral lower respiratory tract infections.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in respiratory inflammatory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It was hypothesized that MMP-8 and MMP-9 may function as biological markers to assess disease severity in viral lower respiratory tract infections in children. MMP-8 and MMP-9 mRNA expression levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and granulocytes obtained in both the acute and recovery phase from 153 children with mild, moderate, and severe viral lower respiratory tract infections were determined using real-time PCR. In addition, MMP-8 and MMP-9 concentrations in blood and nasopharyngeal specimens were determined during acute mild, moderate, and severe infection, and after recovery using ELISA. Furthermore, PBMCs and neutrophils obtained from healthy volunteers were stimulated with RSV, LPS (TLR4 agonist), and Pam3Cys (TLR2 agonist) in vitro. Disease severity of viral lower respiratory tract infections in children is associated ...

Nasopharyngeal Cancer - OHC - Oncology Hematology CareNasopharyngeal Cancer - OHC - Oncology Hematology Care
Nasopharyngeal cancer is a rare type of head and neck cancer in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the nasopharynx. The nasopharynx is the upper part of the pharynx (throat) behind the nose. The pharynx is a hollow tube about 5 inches long that starts behind the nose and ends at the top of the trachea (windpipe) and esophagus (the tube that goes from the throat to the stomach). Air and food pass through the pharynx on the way to the trachea or the esophagus. The nostrils lead into the nasopharynx. An opening on each side of the nasopharynx leads into an ear. Nasopharyngeal cancer most commonly starts in the squamous cells that line the nasopharynx. See Head and Neck Cancers for signs, symptoms and treatments.. ...

STUDIES ON THE NASOPHARYNGEAL SECRETIONS FROM PATIENTS WITH COMMON COLDS | JEMSTUDIES ON THE NASOPHARYNGEAL SECRETIONS FROM PATIENTS WITH COMMON COLDS | JEM
From the foregoing experiments it appears that with the filtered nasopharyngeal secretions from early cases of typical infections common colds in the first 3 to 18 hours of the disease, a similar condition can be transmitted to man. With the unheated but not with the heated secretions from four of six such patients we have succeeded in transmitting an affection indistinguishable from common cold to four men and in two instances the condition was conveyed from the person with the experimental disease to a second individual -in all, therefore, to six supposedly normal subjects. The periods of incubation in the experimental disease varied from 8 to 48 hours. We failed to obtain these results with the filtered secretions from cases of common colds 18 and 20 hours after the onset of symptoms and from a patient with the experimental disease 20 hours after the first symptoms. It would appear that the secretions are more active in the early hours of the affection. We also failed in the two instances in ...

Beyond malaria : causes of fever in outpatient tanzanian children - edocBeyond malaria : causes of fever in outpatient tanzanian children - edoc
As the incidence of malaria diminishes, a better understanding of nonmalarial fever is important for effective management of illness in children. In this study, we explored the spectrum of causes of fever in African children.; We recruited children younger than 10 years of age with a temperature of 38°C or higher at two outpatient clinics--one rural and one urban--in Tanzania. Medical histories were obtained and clinical examinations conducted by means of systematic procedures. Blood and nasopharyngeal specimens were collected to perform rapid diagnostic tests, serologic tests, culture, and molecular tests for potential pathogens causing acute fever. Final diagnoses were determined with the use of algorithms and a set of prespecified criteria.; Analyses of data derived from clinical presentation and from 25,743 laboratory investigations yielded 1232 diagnoses. Of 1005 children (22.6% of whom had multiple diagnoses), 62.2% had an acute respiratory infection; 5.0% of these infections were ...

The relationship between cesarean section (CS) and allergic disorders such as asthma and wheezing has been inconsistent, and the mechanisms for their connection remained largely unknown. We aimed to investigate whether CS is associated with infantile wheeze and to explore the connection between CS and several risk factors known to correlate with allergy development. Mononuclear cells were isolated from cord blood and assessed for cytokine responses by ELISA. Bacteria from nasopharyngeal specimens were identified with traditional culture methods. Infant lung function tests were performed at 6 and 12 months of age. IgE levels and clinical outcomes were assessed at 12 months. The result showed that children delivered by CS were associated with increased risk of wheezing (aHR 1.63; 95% CI: 1.01-2.62) and decreased compliance of the respiratory system at 12 months (p = 0.045). In addition, CS was associated with reduced TLR1-2- triggered TNF-α and IL-6 responses at birth. By12 months of age, ...

  • Nasopharyngeal cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the nasopharynx. (vicc.org)
  • Nasopharyngeal cancer most commonly starts in the squamous cells that line the nasopharynx. (vicc.org)
  • If feasible, nasopharyngeal (NP) aspirates that flush the posterior nasopharynx with a saline wash are preferred over swabs because this method results in a larger quantity of bacterial DNA in the sample. (cdc.gov)
Paranasal3
  • This chapter presents techniques for optimizing image quality for nasal endoscopy, including a comprehensive series of photographic views of paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, and nasopharynx. (entokey.com)

  • 5. Listening to loud music with headphones for a long time can easily cause chronic otitis media.Secretory otitis media is first treated conservatively, because secretory otitis media is caused by our normal nasal cavity, nasopharynx and middle ear, which is called the Eustachian tube, which is connected. (hearingaid.cc)
Oral1
  • the nasopharynx and nasal cavity are more commonly affected than the oral cavity unlike in other populations. (bvsalud.org)

Commonly1
  • The nasopharynx is particularly important in children, because the adenoids are commonly hypertrophied, producing obstruction. (medscape.com)
Lack1
  • Culture-based methods for detecting Streptococcus pneumoniae in the nasopharynx lack sensitivity. (elsevier.com)
Rare1
  • Tornwaldt cyst is a rare, noncancerous (benign) cyst in the midline of the nasopharynx that may become infected. (msdmanuals.com)
