Identification of bacterial antigens and super antigens in synovial fluid of patients with arthritis: a cross sectional study
Background : An accurate and prompt diagnosis of bacterial arthritis is essential for earlier treatment and a good outcome. Superantigens produced by Staph. Aureus are among the most lethal toxins. The paper objective was Identification of common bacterial antigens and S.aureus superantigens in synovial fluid (SF) of children with negative culture and direct smear for other bacteria except fo...
متن کاملBroad-range 16S rRNA gene polymerase chain reaction for diagnosis of culture-negative bacterial infections.
BACKGROUND Broad-range 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used for detection and identification of bacterial pathogens in clinical specimens from patients with a high suspicion for infection. However, prospective studies addressing the impact and clinical value of broad-range bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplification for diagnosis of acute infectious diseases in nonsel...

Background and purpose: Misabortion is a disorder resultant of numerous causes such as infections. It is clear that bacterial infections due to genital mycoplasma, Listeria and brucella can cause septic abortion. A right time diagnosis of these infections can improve women fertility. This study was conducted to survey the efficiency of PCR in detecting the specimens with negative culture res...
متن کاملDiagnosis of bacteremia in pediatric oncologic patients by in-house real-time PCR
BACKGROUND Infections are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in children with cancer. Gaining a favorable prognosis for these patients depends on selecting the appropriate therapy, which in turn depends on rapid and accurate microbiological diagnosis. This study employed real-time PCR (qPCR) to identify the main pathogens causing bloodstream infection (BSI) in patients treated at the Pe...
