Persistent human bocavirus 1 infection and tonsillar immune responses
<p><b>Background</b> Persistent human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) infection is a common finding in patients suffering from chronic tonsillar disease. However, the associations between HBoV1 infection and specific immune reactions ...
Intratonsillar detection of 27 distinct viruses: A cross-sectional study
Palatine tonsils have been observed to harbor several distinct respiratory and herpesviruses in separate studies. In this study, the presence of these viruses in palatine tonsils was comprehensively studied in both children ...
Herpesvirus infections in adenoids in patients with chronic adenotonsillar disease
Adenoids and tonsils have gained interest as a new in vivo model to study local immune functions and virus reservoirs. Especially herpesviruses are interesting because their prevalence and persistence in local lymphoid ...
Rhinovirus species and tonsillar immune responses
Background Rhinovirus A and C infections are important contributors to asthma induction and exacerbations. No data exist on the interaction of local immune responses in rhinovirus infection. Therefore, we aimed to determine ...
Tonsillar cytokine expression between patients with tonsillar hypertrophy and recurrent tonsillitis
Background: Tonsils provide an innovative in vivo model for investigating immune response to infections and allergens. However, data are scarce on the differences in tonsillar virus infections and immune responses between ...
The relationship of serum vitamins A, D, E and LL-37 levels with allergic status, tonsillar virus detection and immune response
BackgroundTonsils have an active role in immune defence and inducing and maintaining tolerance to allergens. Vitamins A, D, and E, and antimicrobial peptide LL-37 may have immunomodulatory effects. We studied how their ...
