Detection of Staphylococcus aureus in nasal tissue with peptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ hybridization.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus (SA) in the nose can be a simple colonizer but also may create an intramucosal reservoir causing recurrent infections or can be a specific immune modulator through superantigenic mechanisms. Because the colonization ... Read more...

In vitro tests in drug hypersensitivity diagnosis.

30 Jul 2009 The diagnosis of a drug hypersensitivity reaction (DHR) is a challenging task because multiple and complex mechanisms are involved. Better understanding of immunologic pathomechanisms in DHRs and rapid progress in cellular-based in-vitro tests can ... Read more...

Correlation between atopy and hypersensitivity reactions during therapy with three different TNF-alpha blocking agents in rheumatoid arthritis.

27 Feb 2009 OBJECTIVE: The use of TNF-alpha antagon-ists (infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab) has changed the course of many rheumatic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Since their approval, some questions regarding their safety have been raised. ... Read more...
