PCR analysis in two unusual occurrences of trichomoniasis, trichomonal empyema due to Trichomonas tenax and Trichomonas vaginalis in an infant urine sample, allowed us to obtain rapid and accurate trichomonad species identification. The weak sensitivity of wet preparations and the low viability of the flagellates can be remedied by the PCR method.

To increase safety and reliability, many devices are equipped with a diagnostic system. The diagnostic system is a software program that uses a model and observations of the system to create a diagnosis. Diagnosis is often a computational intensive activity. To build a good diagnostic system one has to make trade-offs between the required computing power and diagnostic accuracy. This thesis com...

Myiasis is the infestation of live humans and other vertebrate animals with dipterous larvae which, at least for a certain period, feed on the host’s dead or living tissue, liquid body substances, or ingested food (3). Clinically, myiasis may be classified as cutaneous, atrial, wound, intestinal, or urinary, depending on the location of the fly larvae. Intestinal myiasis due to the larvae of th...
