Each component works diligently in order to protect us from invaders such as pathogens: viruses, microbes, and fungi. Unfortunately, the immune system may become dysfunctional, which can result in secondary immunodeficiency diseases. The treatments available for these disorders and diseases of the immune system do not typically serve to cure, and much too often the side effects associated can exacerbate the conditions. As an alternative, the area of immunotherapy seeks to remedy the limitations of today’s medicine. Through this review, insight into the current conventional treatments available for select secondary immunodeficiency diseases will be provided, particularly in Human Immunodeficiency Virus disease and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. The modern immunotherapy approaches that are underway will then be analyzed in their capacity and potential to treat these defects of the immune system. 2-block-ing antibody.

The aim of the current study was to determine the prevalence of CT infection in female sex workers (FSWs) living in Isfahan, Iran and risks associated with its prevalence. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, which was conducted on 99 FSWs recruited from two drop-in centers (DIC) in Isfahan during 2012-2014. The attendees were recruited consecutively. Vaginal, rectal, saliva and urine samples were tested for CT using Real-time PCR. The demographic data were gathered by face to face interview. Results: Prevalence of Chlamydia infection was 20.2% (20/99). The number of people who had more than one sexual partner in the CT-positive group was significantly higher than CT-negative (P= 0.042). The percentage of women whose duration of intimate relationship lasted more than three years was higher in the Chlamydia-positive population compared to Chlamydia-negative (70% vs 35.4%, p=0.005). Furthermore, Chlamydia-negative and Chlamydia-positive FSWs differed from one another in the history of imprisonment (11.4 % in Chlamydia-negative vs 35% in Chlamydia-positive group, p=0.017). Conclusion: The prevalence of CT infection was high among FSWs. Our findings showed that prison experience, the number of sexual partners and duration of intimate relationship were statistically significant among those affected by chlamydia infection.","PeriodicalId":406162,"journal":{"name":"Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128293044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some nations produce regular intercensal estimates while others do not. Intercensal estimates can be less or more informative than official census figures, depending on methodology, completeness, accuracy (as they can have significant undercounts or overestimates) and date of data, and can be released by nations, subnational entities, or other organizations including those not affiliated with governments. Being able to forecast population and even being able to answer some interesting questions about population in the past, depends on developing accurate mathematical models of population growth. Analysis and projection of population are based on population figure as it informs an objective distribution of social amenities by government. Hence, knowledge about past, current and future population are fundamental in every aspect of decision making. In view of this, current projection of this population figures is of great necessity.
