Multiplex PCR for rapid and improved diagnosis of bloodstream infections in liver transplant recipients.
This prospective study evaluated the utility of the SeptiFast (SF) test in detecting 25 clinically important pathogens in 225 blood samples from 170 intensive care unit (ICU) patients with suspected sepsis after liver transplantation (LTX) or after other major abdominal surgery (non-LTX). SF yielded a significantly higher positivity rate in the LTX group (52.3%) than in the non-LTX group (30.5%...
متن کاملRapid diagnosis of leptospirosis by multiplex PCR.
BACKGROUND Traditionally, the most common diagnostic approach used for diagnosing leptospirosis was the demonstration of immune-seroconversion in acute and convalescent patient serum samples. Recently, a variety of molecular techniques, including conventional and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), have been developed for the specific detection of pathogenic bacteria from the genus Lepto...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract Bacterial Infections with the Use of Multiplex PCR Assays.
The investigation of respiratory infections by molecular techniques provides important information about the epidemiology of respiratory disease, especially during the post-vaccination era. The objective of the present study was the detection of bacterial pathogens directly in clinical samples from patients with upper and lower respiratory tract infections using multiplex polymerase chain react...
متن کاملUpper limb flaps for hand reconstruction.
This article reviews three of the most popular upper limb flaps used in hand surgery, namely the posterior interosseous flap, the lateral arm flap and the radial forearm flap. An anatomic study performed with the use of eight fresh cadavers (sixteen upper limbs) is supported by a wide review of the literature. The combined posterior interosseous and lateral arm flap is also discussed. It is con...
متن کاملMultiplex PCR theranostics of severe respiratory infections.
Scope of the problem Acute respiratory tract infection is the leading cause of hospitalization for infants and young children in developed countries, and a major determinant of death in developing countries. In 2002, lower respiratory tract infections accounted for approximately 4 million deaths worldwide and 7% of all deaths that year [1]. Therefore, there is a huge need for new diagnostic too...
