    Gernot Walder
    Institut für Hygiene und Sozialmedizin, Universitat Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria
    Wien Klin Wochenschr 115:263-6. 2003
    ..We conclude that also in Austria HGE should be considered in patients with febrile thrombocytopenia, especially when the medical history reveals recent tick exposure...

    Gernot Walder
    Department of Hygiene, Microbiology and Social Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University, Fritz Pregl Str 3, A 6020 Innsbruck, Austria
    Int J Med Microbiol 296:297-301. 2006
    ..All patients were treated with tetracyclines, which led to prompt improvement of the clinical conditions. Anti-platelet antibodies were observed in one of four patients, but remained unchanged after complete covalescence...
  4. ncbi HIV-1 induced generation of C5a attracts immature dendriticcells and promotes infection of autologous T cells
    Anna Soederholm
    Department of Hygiene, Microbiology and Social Medicine, Innsbruck Medical University, and Central Institute for Blood Transfusion and Division for Immunology, University Hospital, Austria
    Eur J Immunol 37:2156-63. 2007
    ..These results indicate that HIV induces generation of C5a and thereby attracts iDC, which in turn promote the productive infection of autologous primary T cells...

    Front Biosci 12:2148-58. 2007
    ..These data indicate that in parallel to the decrease in viral load and antibodies against gp120, the neutralization capacity of sera under ART is reduced, and can not be compensated by an increase in tat-specific antibodies...
