High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T Identifies Myocardial Injury with COVID-19
Cardiac troponin (cTn) is the preferred biomarker for the detection of myocardial injury (MI), which is defined when there is at least one cTn concentration above the 99th percentile upper-reference limit (URL) of a healthy reference cohort. More...01 Sep 2021
Fluorescent Lymphocytes and Smudge Cells Explored in Infectious Mononucleosis
Infectious mononucleosis (also known as Glandular fever) is an infection most commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a human herpes virus. Glandular fever is not particularly contagious. It is spread mainly through contact with saliva, such as through kissing, or sharing food and drink utensils. More...30 Aug 2021
Zika Virus IgM Antibody Found in West Nile Virus Patients
West Nile virus (WNV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) are mosquito-borne viruses in the family Flaviviridae. Residents in, and travelers to, areas where the viruses are circulating are at risk for infection, and both viruses can cause an acute febrile illness. More...18 Aug 2021
Key Factors Signal Infection Risk in Alcoholic Hepatitis
Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AAH) is a severe form of liver injury with mortality as high as 30%-40% at 90 days. As a result of altered immune function in AAH, bacterial infections are common and are associated with poor outcomes. More...17 Aug 2021
Smartphone-Based DNA Diagnostics Detects Malaria
There remains a substantial burden from infectious disease in low-resource rural communities, not least as a consequence of malaria. In infectious disease diagnosis, results need to be communicated rapidly to healthcare professionals once testing has been completed so that care pathways can be implemented. More...16 Aug 2021
