Isolation, part characterization, immunogenicity, and specificity study of Plasmodium falciparum culture supernatant.
A Plasmodium falciparum malaria blood stage antigen was isolated from in vitro parasite culture supernatant. The chemical composition of the antigen was studied by high-performance thin-layer chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography, and other chemical methods. Such analysis indicated it to be a glycophospholipid (GPL) and to be composed of xylose, mannose, galactose...
متن کاملEvaluation of Microscopy Sensitivity, Specificity in Detection of P. falciparum and P. vivax, Using Monoplex real-time PCR, Gezira, Sudan
Background: Malaria is still account for 200 million cases annually. Microscopy is the gold standard technique for malaria parasites detection. PCR-based techniques can detect malaria infections with high sensitivity. The study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of microscopy technique in the detection of P. falciparum and P. vivax, using monoplex real-time PCR, Gezira State, Central Sudan. Met...
متن کاملComparison of sensitivity and specificity of PCR and sputum smear compared to culture in diagnosis of tuberculosis
Background: Molecular detection has recently been proposed by nucleic acid amplification, known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic method of smear and polymerase chain reaction with culture in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: In this cross-sectional...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid HIV-1 p24 antigen and culture: sensitivity and specificity for AIDS-dementia complex.
We prospectively evaluated 94 patients with AIDS-dementia complex (ADC) and a smaller group of 27 patients with other HIV-1 related neurological conditions to determine the usefulness of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) p24 antigen and HIV-1 culture in the diagnosis of ADC. The presence of ADC correlated with detectable CSF p24, but not with a positive culture. However, only 54% of the patients with s...
متن کاملSensitivity And Specificity Of Procalcitonin In Diagnosis Of Neonatal Sepsis
Background and Objective: According to the fact that neonatal infection is a challenging diagnosis field, several studies have tried to test sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests. This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of procalcitonin (PCT) as a single early marker of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods: In this study, 150 neonates admitted to NIC...
