Different Kits and PCR Methods Evaluated for Malaria Diagnosis
Malaria is an infectious disease considered as one of the biggest causes of mortality in endemic areas. This life-threatening disease needs to be quickly diagnosed and treated. The standard diagnostic tools are thick blood smears microscopy and immuno-chromatographic rapid diagnostic tests. More...13 Jul 2022
Near-Patient Sepsis Triage Test Provides Results in 20 Minutes
A new test for sepsis triage that measures Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is designed to provide accurate, reliable results in approximately 20 minutes from ‘sample-to-result’ and help medical professionals make earlier and better triage/treatment decisions. More...08 Jul 2022
Gut Microbiota Differ in Men With Prostate Cancer
Gut microbiota are the collection of microbes in the gastrointestinal tract and they affect processes and mechanisms in the body. The state of gut microbiota has been linked to many conditions, even in organs that are far from the intestines, but their role in prostate cancer is not understood. More...06 Jul 2022
ECOFF and AST Determined for Invasive Non-Typhoidal Salmonella
Invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) are a primary cause of bloodstream infections in low-resource settings (LRS).The global burden has been estimated at 535,000 iNTS cases and 77,500 deaths per year. In sub-Saharan Africa, most iNTS are multidrug-resistant and non-susceptibility to third generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones has emerged. More...04 Jul 2022
New Technique Uses Dried Blood Spots to Detect Typhoid Infection More Quickly and Accurately
A new approach that detects typhoid antibodies in dried blood spots is faster and more accurate than blood cultures, simplifies disease detection in remote areas and can significantly help vaccination planning in countries where typhoid is prevalent.. More...01 Jul 2022
Microbes Identified In Leukemic Febrile Neutropenia
Despite diagnostic advances in microbiology, the etiology of neutropenic fever remains elusive in most cases. Infectious complications of neutropenia occur in more than 80% of patients who undergo chemotherapy for hematological malignancy and 10% to 50% of those with visceral malignancies. More...28 Jun 2022
