Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the role of interleukin 17 (IL-17) and IL-17-producing cells in the disease progression of dengue virus (DENV) infections.
- Researchers analyzed 152 blood samples from dengue patients, identifying higher levels of IL-17A and IL-22 in those with the more severe form known as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) compared to dengue fever (DF) and healthy controls.
- A strong correlation was found between IL-17A and IL-23 levels, suggesting that IL-17-producing cells contribute significantly to the immune response in DHF patients, indicating their potential importance in understanding and treating dengue infections.
Syphilis and HIV infections continue to threaten the safety of blood banks in countries where altruistic donations are rare. The aim of this study of blood donors to the Centro Estatal de la Transfusion Sanguínea de Veracruz (Mexico) was to determine changes in the prevalence of syphilis and HIV, and to identify factors associated with these infections. A total of 109,054 blood donors were retrospectively analyzed from 2007 to 2014.
