Development of Immunocompetence

Development of Immunocompetence

The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Clinical Case Reports

|June 17, 2021

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Chikungunya virus infection, though uncommon, should be suspected in newborns with fever, facial hyperpigmentation, or encephalopathy, particularly in regions where the virus is endemic.

Area of Science:

Medical Virology
Neonatal Medicine
Infectious Diseases

Background:

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arbovirus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes.
While typically causing self-limiting illness in adults, CHIKV infection in neonates can lead to severe complications.

Keywords:

chikungunya facial hyperpigmentation neonate
