(15) Two cases of methotrexate-induced fibrosing alveolitis are reported.
(16) However, although the immune and inflammatory cells situated in the lung modulate the lesions in the respiratory tree, it may be reasonable to propose the hypothesis that the evaluation of the clinical state of patients with sarcoidosis might take into account the degree of the alveolitis.
(17) However, the amount of IL-2 produced by lung T-cells (BALT IL-2) showed a significant negative correlation with the intensity of alveolitis.

(19) Although occasional pathologic descriptions of open-lung biopsies have recognized the presence of inflammatory cells, suggesting a similarity to "lone" cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis, the two conditions have never been formally compared.
(20) A subclinical inflammatory alveolitis as assessed by BAL cell analysis may be present in a high proportion of symptomless patients with immunological systemic disorders and with normal chest roentgenogram.
Sporozoa
Definition:
(n. pl.) An extensive division of parasitic Protozoa, which increase by sporulation. It includes the Gregarinida.
Example Sentences:
(1) The phylum Sporozoa comprises three large distinct groups of organisms as follows: Perkinsemorpha, Gregarinomorpha and Coccidiomorpha.
(2) 13 (86%) of the 15 protozoa-positive samples contained sporozoa.
(3) Malaria, the number one disease in the world, is caused by intracellular protozoans belonging to the Subphylum, Sporozoa; Suborder, Haemosphoridia; and Family, Plasmodiidae.
(4) Furthermore, the studies suggest that the actin genes from sporozoa and ciliated protozoa, but not those from amoebae, have evolved from a common primitive ancestor.
(5) Subcellular organization, typical of sporozoa, was recorded by electron microscopy of H. bigemina.
(6) The parasitological profile of chronic diarrhoea in 46 Zairian adults suspected of Aids demonstrated that the frequency of protozoa was five times higher than that of helminths; 86% of the protozoa were sporozoa: Isospora belli was the most frequent (19%), followed by Cryptosporidium isolated for the first time in Zaire (8%) and Blastocystis hominis (2%).
(7) Two other blood sporozoa identified as H. semnopitheci and Entopolypoides macai were also seen in Macaca irus imported from Southeast Asia.
(8) It is shown also in the present study that the life cycle of Microsporidia does not involve haploid organisms which it might be thought to contain by comparing it with the cycles of sporozoa.
(9) Members of the class Piroplasmea differ from other Sporozoa in that their trophozoites are covered by a single membrane.
(10) Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocystis spp-specific sera were used to identify the sporozoa in six cases of naturally-occurring ovine encephalitis or encephalomyelitis.
(11) Then, Zierdt (1967) suggested that it should be classified in the phylum Protozoa, subphylum Sporozoa, and that it should be considered as a potential pathogen.
(12) Developmental stages of sporozoa were found in a small number of the isopods which had fed on infected B. pholis but the parasites could not be identified as H. bigemina with certainty.
(13) The study demonstrates the value of the immunohistological technique of visualizing sparsely distributed meronts in naturally-infected tissues and shows that sporozoa of the genus Sarcocystis and T. gondii, and possibly also sporozoa the identity of which is as yet unclear, are associated with encephalitis of sheep in Britain.
(14) Analysis of peculiarities in organization and functioning of metabolic ways of biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides in representatives of Sporozoa type has shown that molecular aftereffects of adaptation to intracellular parasitism in unicellular eukaryotes consists in the increase in the level of molecular organization, loss of some metabolic path ways and some enzymes, origin of a new metabolic system, a host-parasite one.
(15) Later, a nearly simultaneous radiation seems to occur into a number of taxa comprising the metazoa, the red alga, the sporozoa, the higher fungi, the ciliates, the green plants, plus some other less numerous groups.
(16) Correlation between parasite phylogeny and taxonomic affinities of their definitive hosts suggests that the definitive hosts of heteroxenous sporozoa are their ancestral hosts.
(17) The sporozoite's ultrastructure is not different from that of sporozoites of other Sporozoa studies to date--the conoid and dense bodies are present.
