Study Shows Zika Virus Persists in Body Fluids

Although most Zika virus (ZIKV) infections are transmitted by infected mosquitoes, ZIKV transmission has been documented as occurring through sexual contact, blood transfusion, laboratory exposure, and both intrauterine and intrapartum transmission. More...

Image: Bone marrow aspirate of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia revealing increased blasts which are small to medium in size with high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios, round to irregular nuclei, smooth chromatin, and scant basophilic agranular cytoplasm. Some background maturing myeloid cells are also present in this case (Photo courtesy of Dr. Karen M. Chisholm).

Next-Gen Test Authorized for Minimal Residual Disease

An estimated 6,000 people in the USA will be diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 31,000 people will be diagnosed with multiple myeloma this year. More...
