Immunodeficiencies Caused by Infectious Diseases 2010-05-13 .txt text/plain 5205 293 32 Other important causes include canine distemper virus; canine parvovirus 2; feline infectious peritonitis virus; rickettsial organisms that infect leukocytes; Leishmania; and fungal pathogens, such as Cryptococcus. Impairment of normal host barrier function or the function of granulocytes is generally associated with a broad spectrum of bacterial infections and sometimes infection with opportunistic fungi, such as Aspergillus spp Impairment of cell-mediated immunity (CMI) results in infections with opportunistic pathogens, such as Nocardia spp, Mycobacterium spp, Toxoplasma gondii, and a variety of fungal pathogens. Dogs mounting a partial immune response may undergo recovery from acute illness but fail to eliminate the virus completely, leading to a spectrum of more chronic disease manifestations that often involve the uvea, lymphoid organs, footpads, and especially the CNS. 8 CDV infection of ferrets leads to dramatic reduction in cell-mediated immune function with markedly depressed lymphocyte proliferative activity, and to some extent delayed type hypersensitivity responses. ./cache/cord-328196-fpk9elm8.txt ./txt/cord-328196-fpk9elm8.txt
