  1. ncbi Evidence for nonpoliovirus enterovirus multiplication in L20B cells
    Luis Sarmiento Pérez
    Instituto de Medicina Tropical Pedro Kouri, Ciudad de La Habana, Cuba
    Rev Cubana Med Trop 59:98-101. 2007
    ..In spite of the selectivity of this cell line for polioviruses (117/129; 90.7%) some other nonpolio enteroviruses (12/129: 9.3%), such as coxsackie A virus types 4, 8 and 10, can grow in L20B cells...
  2. ncbi Type 1 diabetes associated and tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies in patients without type 1 diabetes and coeliac disease with confirmed viral infections
    Luis Sarmiento
    Department of Virology, Pedro Kouri Tropical Medicine Institute, Havana, Cuba
    J Med Virol 84:1049-53. 2012
    ..The findings suggest that HEV may be a shared environmental factor for the development of islet and gut-related autoimmunity...
  3. ncbi First epidemic of echovirus 16 meningitis in Cuba
    L Sarmiento
    Pedro Kouri Tropical Medicine Institute, Havana, Cuba
    Emerg Infect Dis 7:887-9. 2001
    ..Virologic studies identified echovirus 16 as the cause of this epidemic. This is the first reported isolate of echovirus 16 from patients with viral meningitis in Cuba...
  4. ncbi Persistence of vaccine-derived poliovirus following a mass vaccination campaign in Cuba: implications for stopping polio vaccination after global eradication
    P Mas Lago
    Pedro Kouri Institute for Tropical Medicine, Havana, Cuba
    Int J Epidemiol 30:1029-34. 2001
    ..At issue is the theoretical risk of independent circulation of potentially virulent OPV-derived strains. Because Cuba uses OPV only in mass campaigns, it represents an ideal site to assess vaccine-derived poliovirus persistence...

    P M Lago
    Pedro Kouri Institute of Tropical Medicine (IPK, Havana, Cuba; Autopista Novia del Mediodia, Km 6, PO Box 601, La Lisa, Cuba
    Med Hypotheses 56:339-47. 2001
    ..We propose that the viral agents produce a persistent infection, and the possibility that they may act as mediator of an autoimmune pathogenic process...
