Objectives: Pentraxin3 is a novel biomarker produced by vascular endothelial cells and macrophages. In recent studies involving adults‚ Pentraxin 3 has been introduced as a reliable biomarker in the evaluation of cardiovascular disease and pulmonary hypertension. This study was conducted with an aim to measure the level of Pentraxin 3 in neonates with pulmonary hypertension and comparing with normal healthy controls. Design and Methods: In a case-control study‚ plasma Pentraxin 3 levels were evaluated

The Filoviridae family of viruses is where the Ebola virus belongs. The virus is distinguished by long filamentous structure which can present as straight‚ branched‚ and circular or a folded strand with a uniform diameter of approximately 80 nm but can be many different lengths. Liver cells‚ neutrophils‚ endothelial cells and macrophages are specifically targeted by the virus. Large quantities of cytokines are created by infected cells which solicits a large response from the immune system and interrupts
