Cerebrospinal Fluid Lens-Free Microscopy Used to Diagnose Meningitis
The performance of the cytological analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) and enumerating leukocytes and erythrocytes is a routine first step in the laboratory diagnosis of meningitis. CSF cytology and cell counting is routinely performed by optical microscopy. More...17 Feb 2017
Premature Birth Risk Linked to Bacteria in Cervicovaginal Space
Changes in microbial communities have been implicated in both health and disease and investigations into the association between the cervicovaginal (CV) microbiota and spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB) have been limited in scope and number. More...17 Feb 2017
Real-Time PCR Assay Developed for Detection of Candida
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common condition characterized by vulvovaginal inflammation in combination with detection of one or more of several Candida species and after bacterial vaginosis, VVC is the second most common cause of vulvovaginitis. More...09 Feb 2017
Direct Blood Dry LAMP System Detects Malaria Species
Plasmodium falciparum is thought to be the most prevalent among Plasmodium species and although this species has been well investigated epidemiologically, non-P. falciparum malaria infections have been rather neglected because of their less severe clinical symptoms and difficulties of diagnosis. More...09 Feb 2017
Pathogenic Antibodies to Dengue Virus Linked to Disease Severity
Researchers have discovered that anti-dengue IgG antibodies enhanced for FcγRIIIA binding are involved in determining severity of disease upon secondary infection. The finding helps explain why only some people develop life-threatening dengue infections. More...08 Feb 2017
