BACKGROUND In the last decade the frequency of celiac disease diagnosis has increased in adults. OBJECTIVES To determine disease prevalence (including silent and potential disease) in this population group. METHODS We performed serologic screening of celiac disease in a representative and homogenous sample of a young adult general population in Israel, namely, 18 year old military conscript...

Objectives: The demonstration of the serological test importance in the diagnosis of the Congenital Toxoplasmosis. The Method: The serological test was performed through the micro enzymatic immunology technique, on a lot of 87, new born suckling babies. Along with the laboratory investigations the babies were also clinical, oftalmological and neuron-imagistic examined. Results: The diagnosis of...

BACKGROUND There are no prior studies that assess the non-in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy rates in chlamydia serology-positive versus serology-negative women. Therefore, we wanted to determine whether a positive Chlamydia trachomatis immunoglobulin G serology result predicts reduced clinical pregnancy rates without IVF. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed at a unive...

background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the role of chlamydia serology as a screening test for tubal infertility and to compare the results with hysterosalpingography (hsg) and laparoscopic findings. materials and methods: this was a cross-sectional study undertaken on 110 infertile women treated in the ivf ward, at emam khomeini hospital, sari, iran who underwent laparoscopy a...

Background: Helicobacter pylori non-invasive detection methods are commonly used with test selection dependant on access and previous infection. Stool antigen testing (SAT) is to detect active infection for ease of sample collection. This study focussed the age group trends eradication screening. Methods: retrospective cohort quantitative based 20,998 tests including SAT, urea breath (UBT) or H...

Universal antenatal screening for T. pallidum is standard in Irish maternity units. The prevalence of adult syphilis has increased in Ireland. We audited the neonatal management of infants exposed to T. pallidum in utero. A cross sectional retrospective analysis of all pregnancies with confirmed positive serology for T. pallidum from January 2005 to December 2010 was conducted at the National M...

HLA genes have been shown to be strongly associated with a large repertoir of autoimmune diseases including Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and Celiac Disease (CD). The present article will discuss what is the place of performing celiac disease associated serology in face of a rheumatologic patient, when gluten enteropaty is suspected. More specifically, should HL...

Serological screening accuracy rate may be dependent on clinical and pathological determinants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Hp serology test (Roche Biomedical Lab., Labcorp), in the diagnosis of Hp infection in 121 children who were seen in the Pediatric Gastoenterology Clinic at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine in Huntington. Positive serolog...
