Anti-Chlamydophila immunoglobulin prevalence in sarcoidosis and usual interstitial pneumoniae.
Sarcoidosis and usual interstitial pneumoniae (UIP) are diseases of unknown aetiology affecting the lower respiratory tract. Although there are a number of studies investigating the causal role of these disorders, no micro-organism could be identified as the causal agent. The high incidence of Chlamydophila pneumoniae infections associated with lung injury encouraged the present investigations ...
متن کاملEvaluation of false-positive reaction with ELISA for the detection of Chlamydophila pneumoniae-specific IgM antibody in adults.
Chlamydophila pneumoniae, an obligate intracellular human pathogen, has been proven to cause respiratory tract infections (1). Among the diagnostic methods for detecting C. pneumoniae, serological testing is currently the most common tool used to make the C. pneumoniae infection diagnosis. In Asia, most clinicians and researchers use a commercial serologic test kit, enzyme-linked immunosorbent ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Commercially Available Anti–Dengue Virus Immunoglobulin M Tests
Anti-dengue virus immunoglobulin M kits were evaluated. Test sensitivities were 21%-99% and specificities were 77%-98% compared with reference ELISAs. False-positive results were found for patients with malaria or past dengue infections. Three ELISAs showing strong agreement with reference ELISAs will be included in the World Health Organization Bulk Procurement Scheme.
متن کاملRapid and simple diagnosis of Chlamydophila pneumoniae pneumonia by an immunochromatographic test for detection of immunoglobulin M antibodies.
To evaluate a newly developed immunochromatographic test (the MySet test) for the detection of Chlamydophila pneumoniae-specific immunoglobulin M antibodies, the results obtained by the MySet test were compared with those obtained by two serological tests. The sensitivity and specificity of the MySet test were 100% and 92.9%, respectively. The MySet test is rapid and simple to use and is though...
متن کاملChlamydophila pneumoniae in asthma
BISCIONE et al. [1] reported a significant association of upper airway Chlamydophila pneumoniae RT-PCR positivity in atopic asthmatics (cumulative rate 22%) compared with nonatopic nonasthmatic spouses (9%). In the discussion, BISCIONE et al. [1] argued in favour of acute, rather than chronic, infection as the explanation for their observation that detection was mostly intermittent rather than ...
