Laboratory Diagnosis of von Willebrand's Disease

Laboratory diagnosis of von Willebrand disease.

Over the last decade, considerable progress has been made in the laboratory diagnosis of VWD. Precise, sensitive and automated VWF:Ag assays became widely available. The VWF:RCo performance was improved to a certain degree. However, the sensitivity, precision and general availability of automated applications is not yet optimal. Nevertheless, this type of assay is still recognized as superior t...

Thrombocytopenia is observed in different clinical situations as inherited and acquired forms. Intracranial bleeding is major life threatening of severe thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia, peripheral blood findings and chromosomal study have opened new insight for correct diagnosis and treatment.

CHALLENGES OF LABORATORY SAMPLING AND DIAGNOSIS OF SARS-COV-2 VIRUS OF DISEASE (COVID-19)

Background & Aims: Given the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 worldwide, it is essential to identify people infected with the virus and determine its different types to control the global outbreak of COVID-19. The results of the studies are controversial, so this study examines these diagnostic challenges, including the types of diagnostic methods, the type and time of sampling, and even the clinical c...

Laboratory diagnosis of fungal infections

Selection of appropriate specimens for culture and microscopic examination is based on the results of clinical and radiographic examination and consideration of the most likely fungal pathogen that may cause such an infection. Specimens should be collected under aseptic conditions or after appropriate cleaning and decontamination of the collection site and rapidly transported to the clinical my...
