Neither antibody to a group B streptococcal conjugate vaccine nor the vaccine itself is teratogenic in rabbits.

19 Nov 2008 Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of human neonatal bacterial disease, resulting in pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis and sometimes, death. Supportive preclinical studies of GBS capsular polysaccharide (CPS)-protein conjugate vaccines have ... Read more...

Lung involvement in IgG4-related lymphoplasmacytic vasculitis and interstitial fibrosis: report of 3 cases and review of the literature.

30 Oct 2008 There have been a few reports on lung diseases associated with an increased number of infiltrating IgG4-positive plasma cells or lung involvement of IgG4-related sclerosing disease, although their characteristic histologic features have not been ... Read more...

Performance parameters of the diagnostic scoring systems for autoimmune hepatitis.

30 Oct 2008 The diagnostic criteria for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) have been codified by an international panel, and a revision of the original scoring system based on 12 clinical components has been promulgated. A simplified scoring system has been proposed ... Read more...
