Focal ischemic stroke leads to lung injury and reduces alveolar macrophage phagocytic capability in rats

Abstract Background Ischemic stroke causes brain inflammation, which we postulate may result in lung damage. Several studies have focused on stroke-induced immunosuppression and lung infection; however, the possibility that strokes may trigger lung inflammation has been overlooked. We hypothesized t...
