4. 2. Biologics in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis

   Author : Abukar Ali; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; CTLA4-Ig; IL-1 Ra; anti-TNF therapy; mouse; septic arthritis;

   Abstract : The emergence of new type of drugs known as biologics has led to rapid disease improvements in many autoimmune arthritic patients. Nevertheless, most of these biologics are immunomodulators that may consequently increase the susceptibility of patients towards infections, such as septic arthritis. READ MORE

   Author : Inger Gjertsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; mice; arthritis; sepsis; B cells; Fcg receptors; CD22; ; IL-4; IL-10; IFN-g.;

   Abstract : Joint infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus leads to heavy synovitis and rapid destruction of bone and cartilage. Permanent loss of joint function is seen in 20-50% of the patients, despite early eradication of the bacteria with antibiotics. READ MORE

   Author : Margareta Verdrengh; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; mice; sepsis; septic arthritis; neutrophils; monocytes macrophages; GM-CSF; adhesion molecules;

   Abstract : Bacterial arthritis is a severe, rapidly progressing erosive disease with high morbidity and mortality. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative bacterium. Granulocytes together with cells from the monocyte/macrophage lineage, are the earliest leukocytes entering the synovial tissue in response to invading staphylococci. READ MORE
