Immunopathological mechanisms in dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Sharone S Green and Alan A Rothman

Curr Opin Infect Dis 19(5):429-36 (2006) PMID 16940865

The continued emergence of dengue virus infection and its severe disease manifestation, dengue hemorrhagic fever, is a growing public health problem. The majority of severe infections occur upon secondary encounters with heterologous dengue virus serotypes, suggesting an immune-mediated process.

    Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) involves complex interactions amongst viral and bacterial pathogens that can lead to intense pulmonary inflammation (fibrinous pleuropneumonia). Viral infection greatly increases the susceptibility of cattle to secondary infection of the lung with bacterial pathogens...

    VEGF alone is twice as potent in interrupting tight junctions in an endothelial cell monolayer as Ang-2. However, both growth factors acting together increase permeability three times as much as VEGF alone. Treatments designed to reduce vascular permeability in diabetic macular oedema should conside...
