Laboratory Diagnosis of Pneumonia by Detection of Urinary Antigen Test of Legionella Pnuemophilia
Background and Aims: Legionnaires’ disease is seen in sporadic and epidemic form. The most prevalent cause is Legionella pnuemophilia (L.pneumophila), which produces a severe disease in vulnerable individuals with a high fatality rate. This study was conducted due to the wide and universal distribution of the Legionnaires’ disease, lack of conventional and accessible diagnostic meth...
متن کاملDiagnosis and Management of Bacterial Pneumonia in Adult Horses
Lower respiratory infections in adult horses often have an initial viral component because the effects of lower respiratory viral infections on local clearance and immune function may predispose to secondary bacterial involvement. Bacterial lower respiratory infections have greater clinical impact than viral infections because of the substantial risk of complications ranging from focal abscessa...
متن کاملSerum Albumin and Globulin
Hundreds of proteins are dissolved in the plasma. By measuring the concentration of these proteins, the clinician can obtain information regarding disease states in different organ systems. The measurement of protein is done on serum, which is the fluid that remains after plasma has clotted, thus removing fibrinogen and most of the clotting factors. Total protein content provides some informati...
متن کاملEtiologic diagnosis of adult bacterial pneumonia by culture and PCR applied to respiratory tract samples.
Respiratory culture and multiplex PCR for Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydophila pneumoniae were applied to sputum, nasopharyngeal swabs, and nasopharyngeal aspirates from 235 adult patients with community-acquired pneumonia and 113 controls. Both culture and multiplex PCR performed well with the different samples and appear to be useful as di...
متن کاملAbsence of beta-globulin band in the serum protein electropherogram of a patient with liver disease.
Agarose-gel electrophoresis of serum of a 72-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis showed virtually no beta-globulins two weeks before the patient's death. There was marked decrease in the concentrations of transferrin, beta-lipoproteins, hemopexin, complement component C3, beta-glycoprotein I, and cholesterol in serum. Absence of a beta-globulin band appears to signify an ominous prognosis.
