As rodent models demonstrate that T cells play an important role in limiting WNV infection, and strong T cell responses to WNV have been observed in humans, we postulated that inadequate antiviral T cell immunity was involved in neurologic sequelae and the more severe outcomes associated with age.
They express TLR4, the receptor for endotoxin and are involved in all key sequelae of atherosclerosis [ 5, 6].
Genital ureaplasmas are considered opportunistic pathogens of human genitourinary tract involved in adverse pregnancy sequelae and infertility.
The ARIC Study is a prospective longitudinal investigation of the development of atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae involving 15,792 individuals aged 45 to 64 years at baseline selected by probability sampling from four communities in the United States.
Therefore, preventing the first pneumococcal AOM episode can be hypothesized to prevent sequelae involving NTHi.
Such sequelae involve physical and neuropsychological components and include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and cognitive decline, including dementia [ 1- 9].
The identification of candidates most likely to benefit from an early intervention targeting late sequelae involves a trade-off between accuracy and timeliness.
Third, foodborne illnesses may vary not only in their incidence but also in their severity, resulting in widely different clinical manifestations and potentially involving long-term sequelae, although for their accurate description and quantification a uniform health measure would be needed (6 ).
Also, all cases requiring revision due to infection involved patients with preoperative fracture sequelae or revision of a prosthesis.
However, because several nonepidemiologic lines of evidence, including data from in vitro and animal studies, also support the hypothesis that HCMV infection and the related immunomodulatory sequelae may be involved in gliomagenesis, further research is needed.
They concluded that development of psychopathology among refugees and IDPs was not wholly accounted for by exposure to a traumatic experience such as conflict and related unavoidable post-traumatic sequelae, but instead involved a wider combination of contextual, cultural, social and economic factors associated with predisplacement and postdisplacement periods [ 2].
