چکیده
The elastin-agar plate is useful for determining elastolytic activity. Determination of fungal elastase, however, requires partial purification of culture extracts and the orcein elastin or gravimetric method.

Prevalence of Fungal Infections in Children with Hematologic Disorders and Determination of Anti-Fungal Susceptibility in Isolated Species
Background & Aims: Fungal infections are among the most common life threatening conditions in patients with hematologic malignancies. The present study was carried out on children hospitalized in Amir Oncology Hospital of Shiraz, Iran, in order to determine the prevalence of fungal infections and respective susceptibility patterns to prophylactic antifungal therapies. Methods: Colonization was ...
متن کاملCorrelation between the elastase activity index and invasiveness of clinical isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus.
We calculated an elastase activity index (EAI) by dividing the diameter of the elastin lysis halo by the fungal growth diameter. After 10 days' incubation at 37 degrees C, all strains but one obtained from invasive aspergillosis showed an EAI > or = 1. Of the 18 strains obtained from colonized patients, only 4 (22.2%) had an EAI > or = 1, whereas neither of the strains isolated from patients wi...

A solid phase, enzyme-linkcd immunoassay is described for the quantitative determination of the complex of human granulocyte elastase (EC 3.4.21.37) with αι-proteinase inhibitor. The assay employs antibody-coated test tubes and it is suitable for routine use in clinical chemistry laboratories. Data for sample stability and test characteristics are given. A reference r nge of 20—180 μg/l elastas...
متن کاملFaecal elastase 1: a novel, highly sensitive, and specific tubeless pancreatic function test.
BACKGROUND Indirect pancreatic function tests available today are unreliable for clinical practice in early chronic pancreatitis due to their low sensitivity in mild and moderate exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. AIM To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and practicability of faecal elastase 1 determination in patients with mild, moderate, and severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency cat...
