Bacterial Infection Associated with Sjögren’s Syndrome Risk
In a population-based case-control study, researchers have found a link between newly diagnosed Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS) and previous infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Although an increased risk of tuberculosis (TB) has previously been found in patients with SjS, in this study TB infection itself did not appear to be associated with an increased risk of developing SjS.

LAMP Assay Validated for MRSA in Invasive Samples
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bone and joint infections and one of the most common causative pathogens of bacterial pneumonia in children. An increased risk of mortality from invasive staphylococcal infections has been attributed to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). More...16 Jun 2017
New Test Accurately Detects Latent HIV
The ability of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to lie dormant in a "reservoir" of CD4 cells has been the main obstacle to finding a cure; once a patient starts antiretroviral therapy, it becomes very important to measure the level of viremia, and whether the virus can replicate.
