The mechanism by which fever and influenza-like symptoms occur, after the administration of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) to patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, was investigated. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells, obtained from two patients with fever and/or influenza-like symptoms related to the administration of rHuEPO for the treatment of anaemia were cultured with or without rHuEPO (100, 200, and 300 U/ml). Production of interleukin-1 β and tumour necrosis factor-α was higher in cultures with rHuEPO than in cultures without rHuEPO, although the dose relation

Death by respiratory complications from influenza infections continues to be a major global health concern. Antiviral drugs are widely available for therapy and prophylaxis, but viral mutations have resulted in resistance that threatens to reduce the long-term utility of approved antivirals. Vaccination is the best method for controlling influenza, but vaccine strategies are blunted by virus antigenic drift and shift. Genetic shift in particular has led to four pandemics in the last century, which have prompted the development of efficient global surveillance and vaccination programs. Although

The vast, untapped potential of the world’s oceans is revealing groundbreaking advancements in human health and vaccination. Microalgae such as Nannochloropsis spp. and Dunaliella salina are emerging as resources for recombinant vaccine development with specific and heterologous genetic tools used to boost production of functional recombinant antigens in Dunaliella salina and Nannochloropsis spp. to induce immunoprotection. In humans, several antigens produced in microalgae have shown potential in combating diseases caused by the human papillomavirus, human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B

Abstract:
Non-human primate (NHP)-derived adenoviruses have formed a valuable alternative for the use of human adenoviruses in vaccine development and gene therapy strategies by virtue of the low seroprevalence of neutralizing immunity in the human population. The more recent use of several human adenoviruses as oncolytic agents has exhibited excellent safety profiles and firm evidence of clinical efficacy. This proffers the question whether NHP-derived adenoviruses could also be employed for viral oncolysis in human patients. While vaccine vectors are conventionally made as replication-defective vector

Abstract Background Our understanding of the impact of biological sex on influenza-associated disease and the mechanisms that underpin it is still incomplete. Further investigation of sex-linked effects on influenza pathogenesis and clinical outcomes may help tailor vaccine strategies. Animal studies have shown female mice experience more symptoms than male mice during influenza infection. Similarly, human females of reproductive age have higher rates of influenza and influenza-related hospitalizations. However, data is sometimes conflicting and may be confounded by other important differences

Symptomatic anaemia required treatment with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) in February 1990 (3000 IU, twice weekly, intravenously). She developed influenza-like symptoms and treatment was withdrawn. In June 1994 rHuEPO was resumed at a very low dose of 100 IU subcutaneously three times weekly, and was increased gradually to 500 IU, without inducing any side-effects. At this dose the haematocrit was maintained at 22.0 – 25.0% and the symptoms of anaemia improved. In patients like ours, with influenza-

Many of these techniques could be easily adaptable to diagnosis of influenza virus infection and other agents. Finally, ribavirin therapy of RSV infection

About 90% of cases of persistent human papillomavirus infection (PVI) are eliminated within one to two years.

Influenza viruses from zoonotic reservoirs can also cause pandemics with significant loss of life in all age groups. Although vaccination is one of the most effective methods to protect against seasonal epidemics, seasonal vaccines vary in efficacy, can be ineffective in the elderly population, and do not provide protection against novel strains.
