introduction: helicobacter pylori infection is likely acquired was in childhood. helicobacter pylori is recognized as a cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer. our objective to investigate some noninvasive tests, particularly serum h pylori igg, for the diagnosis of h pylori infection in comparison with the gold-standard invasive test, esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy (histology and rapid ur...

Electrometric serology may be defined as serological study carried on by means of electrical measurements, of a physical chemical nature, made upon sera in any given state and referred to similar measurements made upon sera in a defined standard state. It is an attempt to introduce another exact method into a field already remarkably exact when the abstruse nature of the materials studied is co...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess whether serology and spirometry and the combination of both can complement culture-based detection for earlier recognition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in children with cystic fibrosis. METHODS A 4 year longitudinal prospective study that included 67 Slovenian children with cystic fibrosis with a mean age of 10.5 years was conducted. Serol...

background helicobacter pylori infection is a common infection that affects human beings. this infection also affects children. different diagnostic methods such as serology, stool antigen detection, rapid urease test and histology are used to detect this microorganism. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between serology and histology/rapid urease test. patients a...

herein, we presented the first report on bluetongue (bt) disease in 10 pregnant camels in a herd fromkerman province, iran. all sera samples were tested serologically (agid, c-elisa). we also used the razi-bk cell line, performed primary culture of ovine kidney and inoculated intravenously the embryonatedchicken eggs (ece) to culture and isolate the bt virus. efforts to culture and isolation of...

Bacterial culture for diagnosing pertussis infection has high specificity but poor sensitivity and is slow. Highly sensitive real-time PCR assays and single-serum pertussis serology have been developed to overcome these limitations, but there are few data available on the relative sensitivities and specificities of such assays for pertussis diagnosis. Using data on 195 participants (>or=7 years...
