+ | OBJECTIVE: | ||
+ | The maternal syndrome of preeclampsia results from systemic endothelial activation by a number of factors that primarily derive from the intervillous space, so-called intervillous soup. Co-precipitants, | ||
+ | |||
+ | STUDY DESIGN: | ||
+ | A case-control study was performed on 50 women with preeclampsia, | ||
+ | |||
+ | RESULTS: | ||
+ | Neither the number of women with measurable copy numbers of C. pneumoniae gDNA, the anti-C. pneumoniae seroprevalence, | ||
+ | |||
+ | CONCLUSION: | ||
+ | Our data suggest an association between C. pneumoniae infection and preeclampsia. While not a uniform and singular precipitant of the maternal syndrome of preeclampsia, | ||

+ | COPD is related to the EBV Virus, which may potentiate other Viruses/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Thus, chronic EBV infection may lead to impaired interferon-γ production and, in turn, a reduced innate immune response characterised by recurrent viral and bacterial infection. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Also interesting is that people with COPD have high amounts of the bacteria pseudomonas, | ||

+ | Excerpt: | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Results | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Fifteen different classes of bacteria and a broad range of potentially pathogenic organisms were detected in all cigarette samples. Most notably, we detected Acinetobacter, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Conclusions | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Previous studies have shown that smoking is associated with colonization by pathogenic bacteria and an increased risk of lung infections. However, this is the first study to show that cigarettes themselves could be the direct source of exposure to a wide array of potentially pathogenic microbes among smokers and other people exposed to secondhand smoke. The overall public health implications of these findings are unclear at this time, and future studies are necessary to determine whether bacteria in cigarettes could play important roles in the development of both infectious and chronic respiratory diseases. | ||

+ | I have COPD and had two different strains of EBV in the late 90s alone. Who knows when I was younger? I doubt I was ever tested. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | I was raised by smokers. The COPD came to light when having some sort of cardiogram... the person had trouble seeing my heart because of my damaged lungs. She said my lungs looked like that of someone who was a heavy smoker or had had very bad asthma throughout life. This much I know: when my immune system would go on a tear related to tobacco smoke, VOCs in paint, allergy to cats, etc., my lungs would produce an oatmeal like substance and sometimes I'd stay awake steaming my lungs because it felt like I had to focus on breathing to get oxygen. Even my allergist was puzzled by what my lungs produced when I was in this state. | ||
