Elisa based diagnostic test for Aspergillosis

Novel cutting-edge metabolite-based diagnostic tools for aspergillosis

Metabolite-based detection of aspergillosis Aspergillosis is a group of diseases caused by the inhalation of ubiquitous Aspergillus spores, generally Aspergillus fumigatus [1], that evade the host immune system [2]. Its most aggressive form, invasive aspergillosis (IA), carries a particularly grim prognosis in immunocompromised patients [2]. High mortality and the associated socioeconomic burde...

Invasive Aspergillosis in COVID-19: A Review Study and Recommendations for Diagnostic Approaches

Background and purpose: COVID-19 is an emerging viral disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Bacterial or fungal superinfections of the lung may cause complications in clinical manifestations, treatment, and increase the mortality rate. In this article, we reviewed previous studies on invasive aspergillosis (IA) in viral infections and in adjustment with...

Evaluation and validation of PCR based diagnostic methods detecting aspergillosis

The diagnostic value of the ELISA-Ty test for the detection of typhoid fever in children.

A study on the reliability of an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of typhoid fever, the ELISA-Ty test, was conducted, comprising 44 children suffering from bacteriologically confirmed typhoid fever based on the finding of a positive blood culture for Salmonella typhi, 44 children with fever caused by diseases other than typhoid fever based on the finding of negative c...

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis: A Diagnostic Challenge

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immunologic condition that results from an allergic immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus, most often occurring in a patient with bronchial asthma or cystic fibrosis. ABPA is diagnosed by constellation of clinical, laboratory, and radiographic criteria. In the absence of typical presentation, ABPA can be misdiagnosed. Our patient presented...
