[The immunomorphological characteristics of the appendix in a viral-bacterial lesion in children with appendicitis]
Abstract:
The characteristics of viral-bacterial lesion in the appendix of children with appendicitis are given by means of histologic, histochemical, immunomorphological and morphometric methods. Antigens of influenza viruses A, B, C, entero-, adeno- and paramyxoviruses were observed among which influenza C was found significantly more frequently (64.1%). Viral infection in the majority of cases (79.5%) was found in the association with opportunistic flora, more frequently with E. coli, and less R. aeruginosa and Klebsiella. Analysis of the immunomorphological shifts in the appendix indicated a peculiar dynamics of the antibody production in acute appendicitis: the enhancement of the IgG, IgD and IgE production and the decrease of the production of IgA and IgM. The viral-bacterial effect, the development of the immune responses with IgE hyperproduction and participation in this process of labrocytes and endocrine cells suggest the integration of the two pathogenetic mechanisms-infectious and allergic.

Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...
Histology of the Small Intestine
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...

Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...
