05/01/1995 - "Tc-99m labeled IgG also concentrated in terpentine-induced aseptic inflammatory lesion with a target-to-blood ratio of 4:1, bone 6:1 and normal muscle about 10:1. These findings suggest potential value of Tc-99m IgG as an imaging agent for the early detection of focal infection and inflammation."

10/25/2005 - "Replication of vaccinia was significantly greater in mice lacking receptors for type I interferons (IFN I R-/-) compared with wild-type mice, although both genotypes of mice developed focal infections in lungs and brain after intranasal inoculation. "

03/01/1997 - "We speculate that this 'IgE bullous disease' resulted from IgE-mediated hypersensitivity induced by focal infection, both patients initially being helped by antibiotics. "

03/01/1992 - "Biodistribution and kinetics of radiolabeled proteins in rats with focal infection."

03/01/2015 - "This study aimed to investigate the distribution of inflammatory T cells and T-cell regulatory elements, such as programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and Fork head box protein 3 (Foxp3), immunoglobulin production, and histological characteristics in tonsils from patients with tonsillar focal infection. "
03/01/2015 - "This study demonstrated that the common immunological mechanism, which involves aberration of immunoglobulin and T-cell distribution in histologically distinctive tonsils, may be associated with the pathogenesis of tonsillar focal infection. "
03/01/2015 - "Immunoglobulin and CD8⁺ T-cell distribution in histologically distinctive tonsils of individuals with tonsillar focal infection."
09/01/1995 - "Strauss, 111In-labeled nonspecific immunoglobulin scanning in the detection of focal infection, N. "

11/01/1990 - "Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) has long been regarded as a tonsillar focal infection because tonsillectomy is so effective in its treatment. "
03/01/1992 - "Because of the efficacy of tonsillectomy, palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) has been regarded as a tonsillar focal infection. "
01/01/1983 - "However, since tonsillectomy has been found to improve the symptoms and cure the disease, some researchers have suspected PPP to be a tonsillar focal infection. "
01/01/2013 - "Extracapsular tonsillectomy developed around the turn of the 20th century with the purpose of avoiding remnants - the 'focal infection theory' was prevailing. "
01/01/2012 - "The favorable effect of tonsillectomy on patients with IgAN showed that tonsillar focal infection may be closely related to pIgA1 deposition in glomerular mesangium of patients with IgAN and at least a part of pIgA1 may originate from affected tonsils. "
