At various times postonset of rash, 74 patients positive for measles virus-specific immunoglobulin M provided samples for detection of measles virus RNA by a reverse transcriptase PCR. Of lymphocytes, urine, throat swab, and serum specimens, throat swab specimens were optimal for detection of measles virus RNA during the first 2 weeks after the rash.

background: the diagnosis of toxocariasis heavily depends on immunological tests because the number of parasites is usually few in infected tissues, unless they migrate into an organ such as eye. in general, patients with ocular toxocariasis have serum anti- t canis antibody titres that are significantly lower than those with visceral toxocariasis. objective: to diagnose the asymptomatic toxoca...

Chickens were experimentally infected with Salmonella thompson (serogroup C, paratyphoid) and Salmonella pullorum (serogroup D). Five serological methods and one cultural method were used in detecting the infections. The microantiglobulin test was superior to all other methods for detection of paratyphoid (S. THOMPSON) infection and was followed in efficacy by the microagglutination test, rapid...

Background & Objectives: Ocular diseases like cataract, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and ARMD are some of the ocular associations observed in patients with deficient Vitamin D levels. Although earlier studies have addressed issue metabolic factors leading to cataract infants, on adults is lacking. In our current study we intend assess analyse serum vitamin D3 levels early cataractous changes ...

BACKGROUND The clinical signs of active trachoma are often present in the absence of ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infection in low prevalence and mass treated settings. Treatment decisions are currently based on the prevalence of clinical signs, and this may result in the unnecessary distribution of mass antibiotic treatment. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a prototype point-of-...

Background: Scarce literature has been published thus far regarding ocular findings in the COVID-19.
 Methods: All patients were confirmed by SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcriptase– polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of nasopharynx or oropharynx swab specimens collected at an isolation facility, fever clinic, hospital unit designated for suspected cases pending confirmation.

BACKGROUND Infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) is one of the most common ocular diseases in ruminants worldwide. In addition to keratitis and conjunctivitis, animals with IKC can develop uveitis, corneal ulcer, and in severe cases, blindness. The bacteria Moraxella spp. has been described as the primary causative agent of infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) in cattle (Bos taurus), wh...

CDV is a highly contagious, systemic and viral infection encountered all around the world. This study aimed to investigation of prevalence seen in dogs Burdur. For this purpose, ocular swab blood samples were taken from 65 pre-diagnosed that brought into Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Veterinary Faculty clinics. Real-time RT-PCR method was applied on subject order get laboratory diagnosis CDV. In...

BACKGROUND Data regarding the impact of cigarette smoking on trace elements are scarce and inconsistent. In this study, we evaluated the effect of smoking on serum concentrations of trace elements among adult males with heart disease. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 100 adults hospitalized with heart disease in Bangladesh. The major variables of interest included mean serum concen...

the identification and evaluation of trichomonas vaginalis among women was performed over a period of three months in ilesha. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of trichomonas vaginalis in women in relation to different samples collected and level of education. 310 samples from high vaginal, endocervical and urethral regions of female patients were analyzed using gram stainin...
