Effect of a rapid influenza diagnosis.
Managing children with influenza-like illness is associated with costly and painful interventions because, in order to distinguish viral from bacterial infections, diagnostic tests (including routine blood examinations and chest radiographs) are frequently performed, 2 and the empirical use of antimicrobial agents is common. Various rapid diagnostic techniques for the detection of influenza vir...
متن کاملAssessment of a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the detection of avian influenza viruses
Rapid spreading of the low pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV) caused by the H9N2 subtype and the highly pathogenic AIV caused by H5N1 have caused serious economic losses in the poultry industries of Asia. Therefore, the early detection of AIVs is crucial for the control of the disease. In the present study, the applicability of a rapid immunochromatographic (RIC) assay, which specifically d...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
To improve the specificity of biochemical markers of myocardial infarction (MI) a method to measure cardiac troponin-I (CTn-I) was developed. CTn-I is a protein unique to cardiac muscle and is released after MI. Consecutive 150 patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied. Value of CTn-I was determined in all samples. CTn-I concentration in the MI patients group was increased com...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Nano-ELISA system for the rapid and sensitive detection of H9N2 avian influenza
Influenza is one of the most important viral diseases that is common among the birds and the mammalsand is caused by specific viruses that belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family. Migratory aquatic birds arethe reservoir of the disease and there is a likelihood of the disease in any region. There are differentmethods for detecting the avian influenza, but by the point of detection rates, the ELIS...
متن کاملEffectiveness of two rapid influenza tests in comparison to reverse transcription-PCR for influenza A diagnosis.
INTRODUCTION The influenza A virus is responsible for high morbidity and mortality in children and adults worldwide. Thus, a rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnosis tool is required. METHODOLOGY An immunofluorescence assay (DFA) and a lateral-flow immunochromatographic assay were compared with RT-PCR for detection of the influenza A virus in 113 nasopharyngeal wash samples obtained from pedi...
