متن کاملRapid diagnosis of meningitis using reagent strips.
OBJECTIVES Identification of causative agent with estimation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose, protein, cells is necessary for accurate diagnosis of meningitis. Unfortunately, even these facilities are not available in many areas. Reagent strips that measure glucose and protein in blood and urine can serve this task but have been used with varying results in the past. This study was carried...

متن کاملPleural fluid procalcitonin to distinguish infectious from noninfectious etiologies of pleural effusions.
In this study we investigate the diagnostic value of pleural fluid procalcitonin (PCT) in distinguishing infectious and noninfectious etiologies of pleural effusion. We reviewed the medical records of 75 hospitalized patients who underwent thoracentesis between 2011 and 2012. Data on pleural fluid lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), protein, albumin, cell count and differential, pH, Gram stain and cul...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Cardiac from Noncardiac Pleural Effusions in Cats using Second‐Generation Quantitative and Point‐of‐Care NT‐proBNP Measurements
BACKGROUND Pleural effusion is a common cause of dyspnea in cats. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) measurement, using a first-generation quantitative ELISA, in plasma and pleural fluid differentiates cardiac from noncardiac causes of pleural effusion. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To determine whether NT-proBNP measurements using second-generation quantitative ELISA and point-of-...
