| cell culture and electron microscopy for identifying viruses in diseases of unknown cause. | during outbreaks of infectious diseases or in cases of severely ill patients, it is imperative to identify the causative agent. this report describes several events in which virus isolation and identification by electron microscopy were critical to initial recognition of the etiologic agent, which was further analyzed by additional laboratory diagnostic assays. examples include severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and nipah, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, west nile, cache valley, and he ... | 0 | 23731788 |
| sars-cov regulates immune function-related gene expression in human monocytic cells. | severe acute respiratory syndrome (sars) is characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ards) and pulmonary fibrosis, and monocytes/macrophages are the key players in the pathogenesis of sars. in this study, we compared the transcriptional profiles of sars coronavirus (sars-cov)-infected monocytic cells against that infected by coronavirus 229e (cov-229e). total rna was extracted from infected dc-sign-transfected monocytes (thp-1-dc-sign) at 6 and 24 h after infection, and the gene exp ... | 0 | 22876772 |
| ifitm-family proteins: the cell's first line of antiviral defense. | animal cells use a wide variety of mechanisms to slow or prevent replication of viruses. these mechanisms are usually mediated by antiviral proteins whose expression and activities can be constitutive but are frequently amplified by interferon induction. among these interferon-stimulated proteins, members of the ifitm (interferon-induced transmembrane) family are unique because they prevent infection before a virus can traverse the lipid bilayer of the cell. at least three human ifitm proteins-i ... | 0 | 25599080 |
| a synthetic consensus anti-spike protein dna vaccine induces protective immunity against middle east respiratory syndrome coronavirus in nonhuman primates. | first identified in 2012, middle east respiratory syndrome (mers) is caused by an emerging human coronavirus, which is distinct from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (sars-cov), and represents a novel member of the lineage c betacoronoviruses. since its identification, mers coronavirus (mers-cov) has been linked to more than 1372 infections manifesting with severe morbidity and, often, mortality (about 495 deaths) in the arabian peninsula, europe, and, most recently, the united ... | 0 | 26290414 |

| sars: just another viral acronym? | recent observations and experimental evidence have purported that a virus causes sars, but such viruses have been isolated in only less than half of sars patients in some studies and virologist vincent plummer of winnipeg's national microbiology laboratory found that indeed 1 in 5 perfectly healthy canadians with a history of recent travel to asia had the virus. therefore sars microbiologic origins remain unclear. outbreaks of multi-drug resistant (mdr) tuberculosis and the atypical mycobacteria ... | 2003 | 12888325 |
| protecting against sars during equipment maintenance. | the recent outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (sars) raises questions about the appropriate infection control measures to use when conducting maintenance procedures on medical devices that may have been exposed to the sars virus--that is, devices that have been used on, or located in the same room as, a patient with (or suspected to have) sars. although there is considerable information and guidance available on many aspects of sars, very little exists on this particular topic. what's ... | 2003 | 12889257 |
| mechanical ventilation of sars patients. safety issues involving breathing-circuit filters. | patients suffering from severe acute respiratory syndrome (sars) sometimes require mechanical ventilation. this raises safety concerns about the sars virus being carried by droplets that exit from the exhalation limb of the ventilator. ecri recommends that breathing-circuit filters be incorporated in the exhalation limb of any ventilator used on a patient with sars. in this article, we review the issues behind our recommendations and describe steps hospitals can take to prevent any adverse effec ... | 2003 | 12889258 |
