Tools for Meningitis Diagnostics Implemented in Resource-Limited Settings
Meningitis remains a top cause of premature death and loss of disability-adjusted life years in low-income countries. In resource-limited settings, proper laboratory diagnostics are often scarce and knowledge about national and local epidemiology is limited. More...14 Jan 2019
LAMP Test Rapidly Detects Sexually Transmitted Chlamydia
Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in females and males in both developed and developing countries, with more than 110 million cases annually. C. trachomatis resists antibiotic treatment and is a cofactor in HIV transmission and human cervical cancer. More...10 Jan 2019
Serum Magnesium Levels Associated with CAP Mortality
Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common illness affecting hundreds of millions worldwide, with increasing hospital admissions throughout the years mainly due to the aging population. It is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in all age groups, especially the elderly. More...07 Jan 2019
Dengue Virus IgM Serotyped by ELISA
Dengue virus (DENV) is an arthropod-borne flavivirus that is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions, causing hundreds of millions of infections annually. It is subdivided into four serotypes, DENV-1–4. After infection, patients have lifelong immunity against the homologous serotype but remain susceptible to infections with the others.
