Prognostic influence of toll-like receptor 4 gene polymorphism into community-acquired pneumonia course among young patients with cytomegalovirus persistence
Abstract:Objectives:
The aim of this study was to determine the predictive role of TLR4 polymorphism in CAP course among young cytomegalovirus-positive patients.
Subjects and Methods:
One hundred and five patients with pneumonia (age range: 18–44 years) and 61 healthy respondents were observed clinically and specifically (by cytomegalovirus markers and TLR4 + 3725 G/C polymorphism).
Results:
Among CAP patients, there were 51 male (48.6%) and 54 female… Show more
