BACKGROUND The proposed predictive value of serum anti-myelin antibodies for the development of multiple sclerosis after a first clinically isolated syndrome was recently challenged. OBJECTIVE To investigate myelin autoantibodies before first disease manifestation using different detection methods. METHODS Patients with multiple sclerosis who had donated blood at a time prior to development...

A rapid and simple method for detecting exfoliative toxin serotypes A and B from clinical isolates has been developed as a test kit (EXT-RPLA; Denka Seiken Co. Ltd., Niigata, Japan). This method is based on reversed passive latex agglutination. The detection limit of the EXT-RPLA observed for purified exfoliative toxin serotypes A and B was 1 ng/ml. We evaluated the clinical and epidemiologic u...

Fast detection of β-lactamase (bla) genes allows improved surveillance studies and infection control measures, which can minimize the spread of antibiotic resistance. Although several molecular diagnostic methods have been developed to detect limited bla gene types, these methods have significant limitations, such as their failure to detect almost all clinically available bla genes. We develope...

BACKGROUND This study was designed to detect whether there is a correlation between in vitro susceptibility of field isolates of Leishmania major and the clinical outcomes of meglumine antimoniate (Glucantime®) therapy, the mainstay of cutaneous leishmaniasis treatment in Iran. METHODS Forty-three patients infected with L. major were enrolled in this study from October 2009 to March 2010 and ...

The most common complications of varicella are bacterial skin and soft tissue infections, generally due to Staphylococcus aureus and group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. The aim of this study was to characterize the toxin and antibiotic resistance profiles of S. aureus isolates involved in varicella complications. Between 2002 and 2007, the French Reference Centre for Staphylococci collected 58...

  Abstract   Background: The pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with   increased intracarpal canal pressure. Recently, palmaris longus has been introduced   as an independent risk factor for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. The   purpose of this study was to assess the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with   the presence of palmaris longus tendon and function...

In Guillain-Barré syndrome, the body's immune system attacks part of peripheral nervous system. We present a case series four cases with different variants. Three have been diagnosed nerve conduction studies, one positive lumbar puncture test albumino-cytological dissociation. Each patient was treated Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) and improved clinically. This is being delivered in order to...
