متن کاملDetection of SARS Coronavirus in Patients with Suspected SARS
Cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) were investigated for SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) through RNA tests, serologic response, and viral culture. Of 537 specimens from patients in whom SARS was clinically diagnosed, 332 (60%) had SARS-CoV RNA in one or more clinical specimens, compared with 1 (0.3%) of 332 samples from controls. Of 417 patients with clinical SARS from whom paired se...
متن کاملTransient lymphopenia in acutely unwell young infants.
The clinical outcome of 42 acutely unwell infants <3 months old with lymphopenia was retrospectively compared with that of 42 controls. Lymphopenic infants were significantly more likely to require active resuscitation and intensive care, independent of total leucocyte count, gender, degree of prematurity, and diagnosis.
