Using Bioluminescent Imaging to Investigate Synergism Between Streptococcus pneumoniae and Influenza A Virus in Infant Mice
Published on: April 14, 2011
Abstract:
An analysis of 1274 autopsy protocols of children parainfluenza was revealed as the main disease in 73 and as a concomitant disease in 107 cases, not infrequently as a generalized infection. In 13 observations a detailed study of the brain was performed. In 4 cases the involvement of the brain consisted mainly in cushion-like outgrowth of ependymocytes and endotheliocytes of the blood vessels. In 1 case a comprehensive analysis revealed isolated meningoencephalitis induced by type 3 parainfluenza virus. Besides, hemodynamic disorders and the nonspecific changes of moderate intensity were found. In 8 children only these nonspecific changes were detected.
