Two Chikungunya Virus IgM Enzyme-Linked Immunoassays Evaluated
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an alphavirus transmitted by Aedes (Stegomyia) spp. mosquitoes. Transmission was initially restricted to small outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia, but since early 2000s the virus has caused large outbreaks in India and Southeast Asia. More...11 Feb 2020
Microbiota’s Role Explored in Colorectal Cancer Among the Young
Colorectal cancer incidence has been declining for several decades in people over 55, in part because of the increased use of screening for the disease, particularly with colonoscopy which can find and remove polyps before they become cancerous. More...06 Feb 2020
Diagnostic Efficacy of Immunomarkers in Fungal Bloodstream Infection
Fungemia is the presence of fungi or yeasts in the blood and is a life‐threatening condition with the global mortality rate surging more than fivefold in the past decade. It has been reported that the outcome depends on early and targeted treatment; thus, prompt diagnosis is essential at the early stage of infection. More...05 Feb 2020
