Multiplex Microsphere Immunoassay Identifies Three Flavivirus Infections
The explosive spread of Zika virus (ZIKV) and associated complications in flavivirus-endemic regions underscore the need for sensitive and specific serodiagnostic tests to distinguish ZIKV, dengue virus (DENV) and other flavivirus infections. More...19 Sep 2019

Serum HMGB1 Levels Reflect Clinical Features of HLH
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome. Hypercytokinemia secreted from dysregulated hyperactivated monocytes, macrophages, T cells and NK cells has been reported to play a major role in HLH. More...17 Sep 2019

Immunoassays Compared for Diagnosis of Acute Murine Typhus Infections
Murine typhus is a disease transmitted by fleas and is caused by intracellular gram-negative bacteria called Rickettsia typhi, and manifested clinically with acute fever, chills, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, cough and rash. More...10 Sep 2019

Differential Immune Responses Triggered against Salmonella enterica
Enteric fevers, caused by the Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi (ST), Paratyphi A (PA) and Paratyphi B (PB), are life-threatening illnesses exhibiting very similar clinical symptoms but with distinct epidemiologies, geographical distributions and susceptibilities to antimicrobial treatment.
