Immune Modulating Therapies in Treating Infections

Infections in immunocompromised patients can pose difficult problems in clinical management,because the available medications often are unable to eradicate the infection in these patients. Moreover, many pathogens; such as bacteria, viruses, fungi; have mutated so these medicationsare no longer effective for these infections. Also, the infection may not be detectable such as being disguised with biofilms and not showing up positive in laboratory tests.

Hence, the use of immune modulating therapy to augment impaired host immune responses to treat an infection, which is rebooting your immune system similar to rebooting your computer. Advances in biotechnology have produced a variety of biological response modifiers with the potential to treatment infections, including cytokines interleukin, macrophage, and natural killer cell potentiators.

Immune modulating therapy is a rational approach to treat infections because it is intended to enhance immune function as it reboots the immune system and commands a turn on switch. Immune therapy can be a reconstitution therapy, which is intended to correct the underlying immunological defects that predispose people to disease, or an augmentative therapy, which is intended to enhance immune function against the pathogen.

Immune therapy can enhance your immune system mechanisms by rebooting the immune system and thus in activating system mechanisms in your immune system, you as the host can target the pathogen to eradicate the infection.

Pathogens exhibit diverse virulence strategies and many manifest a capacity for latency, which contributes to an increased risk of invasive disease for patients who are immunosuppressed. For example, Aspergillus species elaborate powerful hydrolytic enzymes that destroy tissue. In contrast, Cryptococcus neoformans often elicits little or no inflammatory response; however, its capsular polysaccharide mediates a variety of deleterious immunological effects. Differences among the pathogenetic mechanisms and clinical manifestations underscore the importance of understanding the nature of host-pathogen interactions in the design of immunotherapy.

VIPIMC uses a comprehensive approach to treat infections using immune modulating therapies that have been effective in treating patients with chronic infections.
