Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 polymorphism in patients with rheumatic heart disease.

Tissue antigens - 1 Dec 2009

Abstract excerpt

Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is a systemic inflammatory disease occurring as a consequence of an exaggerated immune response to group A, beta haemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis. The molecular mimicry between human target organs/tissues and specific components of the infectious organism leads to the development of autoimmune reactions and cardiac tissue damage in rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Cytotoxic T...
