A Case of Sulfasalazine-Induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome Confirmed by Enzyme-Linked Immunospot Assay
A 24-year-old male with a history of spondyloarthropathy presented with high fever, cervical lymphadenopathy and generalized maculopapular rash. He was treated with prednisolone for chronic uveitis before being switched to sulfasalazine 3 weeks prior to admission. Laboratory findings revealed marked leukocytosis with frequent atypical lymphocytes. Sulfasalazine was discontinued and the etiology...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Tuberculosis by an Enzyme-Linked Immunospot Assay for Interferon-γ
We evaluated an enzyme-linked immunospot assay for interferon-gamma (T SPOT-TB) for rapid diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB) in a disease-endemic area. From January to June 2005, patients whose clinical symptoms and radiographic findings were compatible with TB were recruited, and a blood sample was obtained for T SPOT-TB assay within 7 days of microbiologic studies. Sixty-five patients were...
متن کاملRapid diagnosis of pulmonary TB by BAL enzyme-linked immunospot assay in an immunocompromised host.
Immunocompromised patients with acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear-negative active pulmonary tuberculosis (pTB) often present with nonspecific clinical symptoms and findings. T-cell interferon-gamma release assays (TIGRA) performed on whole blood (using ELISA) or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (using enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT)) are more sensitive for the diagnosis of Mycobacterium ...
متن کاملCost-efficient quantification of enzyme-linked immunospot.
Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) analysis is a sensitive technique for the detection and quantification of antigen-specific T cells (5,7) and also for the detection of various cytokines released by immune cells (2). It is used extensively to monitor peptide-specific T cell responses in vaccination protocols (3), melanoma patients (6), and adoptive cellular immunotherapy (9) because it can det...
متن کاملVitellogenin assay by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a biomarker of endocrine disruptor chemicals (EDCs) pollution
There are increasing evidences that show many xenobiotic chemicals (called as endocrine disruptorchemicals EDCs) through interfering with endocrine system, have the capability to induce developmentaland reproductive abnormalities in humans and animals. The yolk protein precursor vitellogenin (VTG) hasproved to be a simple and sensitive biomarker for assessing exposure of fish to EDCs especially...
