Molecular methods for diagnosis of viral encephalitis.
Hundreds of viruses cause central nervous system (CNS) disease, including meningoencephalitis and postinfectious encephalomyelitis, in humans. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is abnormal in >90% of cases; however, routine CSF studies only rarely lead to identification of a specific etiologic agent. Diagnosis of viral infections of the CNS has been revolutionized by the advent of new molecular dia...

متن کاملA Review on Parasitological, Immunological and Molecular Methods for Diagnosis of Human Strongyloidiasis
Strongyloidiasis caused by intestinal nematode Strongyloides stercoralis may leads to hyperinfection syndrome and disseminated infections. If not diagnosed and treated properly, it may even end to the death of patients. Sensitivity of parasitological methods is not good enough and multiple stool sampling over consecutive days is essential to improve the detection rate. The agar plate culture me...
