   For the past four decades, medical science thought it knew how severe RSV infections arose. Scientists blamed an overreaction in the lungs by specific immune-system cells, T lymphocytes (also known as "T cells"), for the most drastic symptoms of infection. But now, researchers have shown that severe RSV infections in the lower respiratory tract actually are associated with an inadequate immune reaction -- a characteristic they share with fatal influenza infections.

6. Bacteria that cause urinary tract infections invade bladder cells
   12-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found definitive proof that some of the bacteria that plague women with urinary tract infections are entrenched inside human bladder cells. The finding confirms a controversial revision of scientists' model of how bacteria cause UTIs. Previously, most researchers assumed that the bacteria responsible for infections get into the bladder but do not invade the individual cells that line the interior of the bladder.
