Brucellosis in pregnancy: results of multicenter ID-IRI study.
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis
July 2019
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the impact of brucellosis in pregnant women, highlighting that it is linked to various obstetric complications, yet there is limited data on human cases.
- Data was gathered from 242 pregnant women diagnosed with brucellosis across 23 hospitals over a 14-year period, revealing that 14.0% experienced obstetric complications, with spontaneous abortion being the most common at 6.1%.
- Key factors related to obstetric complications included symptoms like splenomegaly, nausea, and anemia, emphasizing the need for investigation in pregnant women who show such signs, especially in endemic areas.
Evaluation of tularaemia courses: a multicentre study from Turkey.
Clin Microbiol Infect
December 2014
In this multicentre study, which is the largest case series ever reported, we aimed to describe the features of tularaemia to provide detailed information. We retrospectively included 1034 patients from 41 medical centres. Before the definite diagnosis of tularaemia, tonsillitis (n = 653, 63%) and/or pharyngitis (n = 146, 14%) were the most frequent preliminary diagnoses.

J Microbiol Immunol Infect
June 2013
Background: CD14 is expressed principally by cells of monocyte/macrophage lineage and plays a pivotal role in the innate immunity to intracellular infections. Recent research findings have revealed an association between the CD14 gene promoter polymorphism and several major infectious diseases.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between the CD14-159C/T polymorphism and tuberculosis in a Turkish population.
Association between tuberculosis and atopy: role of the CD14-159C/T polymorphism.
J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol
September 2012
Background: The development of allergic hypersensitivity depends on both genetic and environmental factors. Different amounts of microbial products could affect patients with atopy and different genotypes.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the role of varying degrees of exposure to infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis) in atopic patients and analyze the association with genetic factors.
