More than 60 years later, the Normandy Invasion, or D-Day, remains the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving nearly three million troops crossing the English Channel from England to Normandy in occupied France.
The clinical heterogeneity observed in leptospirosis may be associated with host factors or bacteria virulence. Human serum mannose-binding lectin (MBL) recognizes many pathogens, and low levels of this lectin are associated with susceptibility to infection. MBL is also implicated in the modulation of the inflammatory process. We determined the levels of serum MBL during leptospirosis infection.
A total protein test and an albumin serum test can measure the amounts of blood proteins. Total protein tests measure your ratio of albumin to globulin, and albumin serum tests are ordered by your doctor when you have symptoms such as edema. While the normal range level for total protein can be between 6.0 and 8.3 g/dL, the albumin normal level can range between 3.4 to 5.4 g/dL, according to MedlinePlus. A blood test that shows low levels of albumin can be an indication of liver damage or disease.
