Global warming has had serious implications on dispersion of infectious diseases like toxoplasmosis. Since the frequency Toxoplasma gondii largely depends climatic conditions, we studied its prevalence by means 3599 samples National Health Survey 2000 (NHS-2000) and 2916 Nutrition 2006 (NHNS-2006) serum banks, obtained from 1–98 year old subjects both genders all states Mexico. Anti-T.gondii IgG antibodies were determined ELISA confirmed western blot. Crude, epidemiologically weighted...
Administration of tamoxifen (an antiestrogen) produced an 80% parasite load reduction in female mice, and a weaker effect 50% male mice. This protective was associated both sexes, with increase the mRNA levels interleukin (IL)-2 (a cytokine protection against cysticerci) IL-4 (no on infection). treatment modified 17-β estradiol production females, whereas serum testosterone not affected. However, expression 2 types estrogen receptor (ER), i.e., ER-α ER-β, spleen infected mice decreased by...
The effects of progesterone on castrated mice both sexes infected with Taenia crassiceps cysticerci were studied. Gonadectomy and treatment before infection decreased parasite loads by 100% compared intact uninfected mice. mRNA levels IFN-gamma IL-2 (typically associated to Th1-like profiles) markedly in gonadectomized (Gx) mice, whereas Gx did not affected its expression. IL-4, IL-10 Th2-like reduced gonadectomy, restitution this pattern progesterone-treated Infection induced expression...
We present one unusual case of anophthalmia and craniofacial cleft, probably due to congenital toxoplasmosis only.A two-month-old male had a twin in utero who disappeared between the 7th 14th week gestation. At birth, baby presented no sign compatible with genetic or exposition/deficiency problems, like Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome maternal vitamin A deficiency. Congenital was confirmed by presence IgM abs IgG neo-antibodies western blot, as well real time PCR blood. CMV infection also discarded...
ANTECEDENTES: En México prevalecen cepas “virulentas” de Toxoplasma gondii, por lo que el cuadro clínico puede ser diferente a los reportados para regiones donde circulan no virulentas, como Europa, Estados Unidos y Canadá.MÉTODOS: Se reporta una serie casos con toxoplasmosis congénita reclutados partir 2005 tamiz prenatal o postnatal, porque llegaron clínicos al INP, conforman parte casos.RESULTADOS: Todos pacientes presentaron manifestaciones clínicas, pero grupo presentó infección más...
