1. Evidence for eosinophil recruitment, leukotriene B4 production and mast cell hyperplasia following Toxocara canis infection in rats
It is well known that eosinophilia is a key pathogenetic component of toxocariasis. The objective of the present study was to determine if there is an association between peritoneal and blood eosinophil influx, mast cell hyperplasia and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) production after Toxocara canis infection. Oral inoculation of 56-day-old Wistar rats (N = 5-7 per gr

2. Efeitos da inibição crônica das óxido nítrico sintases na mecânica de tecido periférico, no recrutamento eosinofílico e no remodelamento da matriz extracelular induzida por inflamação crônica pulmonar / Effects of chronic nitric oxide inhibition on lung tissue mechanics, eosinophilic and extracellular matrix responses induced by chronic pulmonary inflammation
INTRODUÇÃO: A importância da resposta mecânica do parênquima pulmonar na fisiopatologia da asma tem sido recentemente reconhecida. O óxido nítrico é um mediador que controla o tônus muscular liso das vias aéreas, porém este efeito no parênquima pulmonar periférico ainda não foi previamente investigado. Nossa hipótese é que a inibição crôni

3. Estudo da inibição do oxido nitrico sobre funções de eosinofilos humanos estimulados com eotaxina e RANTES in vitro / Study of nitric oxide inhibition in human eosinophil functions stimulated in vitro with eotaxin and RANTES
Eosinophils participate in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases, including parasitic infections and allergic diseases. Of the allergic diseases, asthma is characterized by eosinophilia. Currently, asthma affects 300 million people in world, and is an important public health problem. Asthma is an inflammatory chronic disease that involves interactio

4. Epidemiology of pulmonary eosinophilia in rural south India--a prospective study, 1981-86.
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The study aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of pulmonary eosinophilia, with special reference to tropical pulmonary eosinophilia, in a rural community. DESIGN--This was a five year prospective study from 1981-86. SETTING--The study was conducted in four villages of Tamil Nadu in south India. SUBJECTS--The study population consi

5. Pulmonary function in tropical eosinophilia
Pulmonary function studies were carried out on 23 patients with tropical eosinophilia. These showed an obstructive ventilatory defect in patients with symptoms for less than one month, and a restrictive ventilatory defect in addition to obstruction in those with symptoms for one to four months. These findings are correlated with the pathological changes obse

6. The course of lung function in treated tropical pulmonary eosinophilia
Poh, S. C. (1974).Thorax, 29, 710-712. The course of lung function in treated tropical pulmonary eosinophilia. A follow-up study over a period of two years in the lung function of 15 patients with tropical pulmonary eosinophilia successfully treated with diethylcarbamazine is reported. A return to normal of the lung function with the exception of the transfe

7. Filarial complement-fixation test for pulmonary tropical eosinophilia with Ascaris antigen
A trial of antigen prepared from Ascaris lumbricoides in the complement-fixation test for pulmonary tropical eosinophilia and for filariasis is described. No significant difference was observed between this antigen and that prepared from Dirofilaria immitis.

8. Pulmonary eosinophilia with and without allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
Sixty five patients with pulmonary eosinophilia attending one respiratory unit were reviewed. All had fleeting radiographic abnormalities and peripheral blood eosinophil counts greater than 500 x 10(6)/l. Eighteen had a single episode and 47 recurrent episodes during a median follow up period of 14 years. Thirty three patients had allergic bronchopulmonary a

9. Respiratory Syncytial Virus G and/or SH Protein Alters Th1 Cytokines, Natural Killer Cells, and Neutrophils Responding to Pulmonary Infection in BALB/c Mice
BALB/c mice sensitized to vaccinia virus expressed G protein of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) develop a Th2-type cytokine response and pulmonary eosinophilia when challenged with live RSV. In this study, BALB/c mice were immunized or challenged with an RSV mutant lacking the G and SH proteins or with DNA vaccines coding for RSV G or F protein. F or G pro

10. Secreted Respiratory Syncytial Virus G Glycoprotein Induces Interleukin-5 (IL-5), IL-13, and Eosinophilia by an IL-4-Independent Mechanism
The attachment glycoprotein G of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is produced as both membrane-anchored and secreted forms by infected cells. Immunization with secreted RSV G (Gs) or formalin-inactivated alumprecipitated RSV (FI-RSV) predisposes mice to immune responses involving a Th2 cell phenotype which results in more severe illness and pathology, decre

11. An Essential Role for Interleukin-5 and Eosinophils in Helminth-Induced Airway Hyperresponsiveness
Infection with the parasitic helminth Brugia malayi can result in development of a severe asthmatic response termed tropical pulmonary eosinophilia. This disease, thought to result from a host inflammatory response to blood parasites which become trapped in the lung microvasculature, is characterized by a profound eosinophilic infiltration into the lungs. Re

12. Acute Echinococcosis: a Case Report
We report the case of a 69-year-old man with acute pulmonary echinococcosis. A computed tomographic scan of the thorax revealed the presence of multiple nodules in both lungs, and laboratory tests showed eosinophilia and the presence of antibodies against Echinococcus granulosus. Therapy with albendazole led to resolution of the pulmonary nodules and a norma
