Antibody Tests Recommended for Parasitic Infection Diagnosis
Pleural parasitic infestation (PPI) is a disease prevalent in certain parts of the world and it is frequently misdiagnosed due to its lack of standardized diagnostic criteria. The clinical manifestations are non-specific and many patients are initially treated for tuberculosis or misdiagnosed as lung cancer. More...16 Jul 2019
Dengue Infection Complicated by Hyperinflammatory Condition
The global incidence of dengue infection has grown dramatically and been estimated to 390 million infections yearly. This mosquito-borne virus infection occasionally develops into a potentially lethal state called severe dengue (SD). More...11 Jul 2019
Confirmation Testing for Primary Hyperaldosteronism Remains Essential
Primary aldosteronism, also known as primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) or Conn's syndrome, refers to the excess production of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal glands, resulting in low renin levels. This abnormality is caused by hyperplasia or tumors. More...10 Jul 2019
Micronutrient Deficiencies Common in Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an immune reaction to consuming gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Eating gluten triggers an immune response in the small intestine that over time damages the intestine's lining and prevents it from absorbing some nutrients, leading to diarrhea, fatigue, anemia, weight loss and other complications.

Maternal HbA1c Influences Autism Risk in Offspring
Epidemiologic data suggest that maternal diabetes influences the risk for autism in offspring, whereas the prevalence of autism has steadily risen in the USA, currently affecting 1 in 59 children, and boys are four to five times more likely to receive an autism diagnosis. More...04 Jul 2019
