Zika Virus IgM Persists 25 Months After Symptom Onset
Zika virus disease is caused by a virus transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes, which bite during the day. Symptoms are generally mild and include fever, rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise or headache. Symptoms typically last for 2–7 days. More...05 Dec 2019
Plasma Cytokine Responses Characterized in Melioidosis
Melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by the environmental saprophyte Burkholderia pseudomallei, is endemic across many areas of Southeast Asia, South Asia, Northern Australia and America. B. pseudomallei is a facultative intracellular bacterium, a characteristic that contributes to its pathogenesis and persistence in the host and that may modulate the cytokine response to infection.

Multiplex Panel Debuts for Multi-Drug Resistant Infection Screening
A multi-drug resistant (MDR) panel detects genetic signatures of resistance to specific antibiotics in pathogens that are commonly thought of as hospital acquired, and is designed to be used as a screening test for infection control and isolation of asymptomatic carriers. More...28 Nov 2019
Immune Cells Linked to Malaria-Induced Anemia Through Autoantibody Production
Malaria is still a major global health threat with over 200 million new infections and around 400,000 deaths per year. Anemia is a common complication associated with malaria that contributes significantly to the great morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. More...28 Nov 2019
Mycobacterium Infection Found in Gastric Patients’ Stomachs
Development of gastric diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer is often associated with several biotic and abiotic factors. Helicobacter pylori infection is such a well-known biotic factor. However, not all H. pylori-infected individuals develop gastric diseases and not all individuals with gastric diseases are infected with H. pylori. More...26 Nov 2019
Crohn's Disease-Associated Bacteria Tolerate Antibiotics
Crohn's disease is a chronic disease that causes inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract. The disease is characterized by an imbalance in the intestinal microbiome. In particular, adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have been implicated in the disease. More...26 Nov 2019
Routine Blood Parameters Predict Invasive Aspergillosis Prognosis
Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems, e.g. those undergoing bone marrow transplantation. Symptoms include fever, chills, shock, delirium, seizures, and blood clots. More...19 Nov 2019
