  The stomach is not a preferred site for human parasitic infections. Cryptosporidium spp. has been found lining the gastric mucosa, which was virtually free of inflammation.
  Several cases of giardiasis have been reported, virtually all in stomachs with extensive atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.
  Because most patients also have H. pylori infection, it remains unclear whether Giardia intestinalis causes (...)

• bullous impetigo
  5 February 2006

  Desmosomal cadherins are the pathophysiologic targets of autoimmune or toxin-mediated disruption in the human diseases pemphigus and bullous impetigo, including its generalized form, called staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS).
  Conformational epitopes of antidesmoglein autoantibodies in pemphigus patients sera and the specific cleavage site of desmoglein-1 (DSG1) by exfoliative toxin have been identified, implicating the N-terminal extracellular domains of the desmogleins as (...)

  Epidemics of measles occur among unvaccinated (...)
