| anti-hiv antibodies and other serological and immunological parameters among normal haitians in montreal. | a matched-pair, cross-sectional study of lymphocyte and serological parameters associated with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (aids) in 189 randomly chosen, ostensibly healthy adult haitian immigrants residing in montreal matched for sex, age (within 5 years), and neighborhood of residence to 189 non-haitian (caucasian) controls was done in 1983-1984. three years later (1986-1987), 41 of the haitian study subjects and 83 of the non-haitian controls participated in a follow-up study centered ... | 1990 | 2153200 |

| opportunistic infections and acquired cellular immune deficiency among haitian immigrants in montreal. | eight haitian immigrants (five with acquired immune deficiency syndrome [aids] and three with the signs and symptoms of aids but without opportunistic infections or malignant diseases) are described. all had malaise, weight loss, fever and generalized lymphadenopathy. all five of those with opportunistic infections died from the infections, which were multiple in four cases. septic shock due to escherichia coli or klebsiella pneumoniae developed in two patients. evidence of immune deficiency in ... | 1983 | 6315211 |
| high incidence of invasive aspergillosis associated with intestinal graft-versus-host disease following nonmyeloablative transplantation. | invasive aspergillosis (ia) remains a major complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (hsct). in contrast to conventional hsct, few investigators have examined risk factors of ia associated with nonmyeloablative (nma) regimens characterized by outpatient administration, immunosuppression rather than cytoreduction, and short duration of neutropenia posttransplant. we report our results on a cohort of 125 patients treated homogenously who received a 6/6 matched sibling n ... | 2007 | 17889356 |
| risk factors for cytomegalovirus seropositivity in a population of day care educators in montréal, canada. | horizontal transmission of cytomegalovirus (cmv) is common in the day care setting. day care educators appear to be at a high risk of infection; however, studies are limited. | 2005 | 16251375 |
| aquatic pollution-induced immunotoxicity in wildlife species. | the potential for chemicals to adversely affect human immunologic health has traditionally been evaluated in rodents, under laboratory conditions. these laboratory studies have generated valuable hazard identification and immunotoxicologic mechanism data; however, genetically diverse populations exposed in the wild may better reflect both human exposure conditions and may provide insight into potential immunotoxic effects in humans. in addition, comparative studies of species occupying reference ... | 1997 | 9193919 |
