Clinical manifestations and immune response to tuberculosis

Mary Lilian Carabali-Isajar et al.

Summary: Tuberculosis is a widespread and highly impactful disease, ranking among the top ten causes of death worldwide. Despite a large number of individuals being carriers of the tuberculosis bacillus, only a third of them develop active disease. This can be attributed to the differential immune response of hosts, involving cellular and humoral components, as well as cytokines and chemokines. Understanding the relationship between clinical manifestations of tuberculosis and the immune response can provide insights into the pathophysiological and immunological mechanisms of the disease.

Value of CRP, PCT, and NLR in Prediction of Severity and Prognosis of Patients With Bloodstream Infections and Sepsis

Peipei Liang et al.

Summary: This study found that inflammatory factors such as NLR, CRP, and PCT have important clinical applications in assessing the severity of disease and prognosis of patients with bloodstream infection and sepsis. The levels of these inflammatory indicators were significantly higher in critically ill patients compared to non-critically ill patients, and they were positively correlated with the prognosis indicator APACHE II score.

Summary: NLR, a novel hematological parameter, is widely used as a marker of immune response in various medical disciplines. Its values are influenced by age, diet, medication, and various chronic diseases, indicating different pathological states. NLR has high sensitivity in detecting cancer, infection, inflammation, and stress.
