[Pathomorphogenesis of cytomegalovirus lungs lesions in HIV infection]
Abstract:
Pathomorphologic characteristics of cytomegalovirus (CMV) lung damage in 18 patients who died of HIV infection are outlined. The following variants of lung lesions are distinguished: 1) CMV transformation of the cells in the respiratory compartments and tracts; 2) pneumonias with development of caverns with CMV transformed cells; 3) productive CMV alveolitis with granuloma formation; 4) pulmonary fibrosis and "adenomatosis" associated with CMV infection; 5) CMV transformed cells in secondary lesions--tumours and infections. Heterogeneous number and distribution of CMV cells at early stages, tumours and purulent foci were documented in CMV infections of the lungs.

Immune Response Against Viral Pathogens
NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
