Recommendations for diagnosis of shiga toxin--producing Escherichia coli infections by clinical laboratories.

14 Oct 2009 Shiga toxin--producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are a leading cause of bacterial enteric infections in the United States. Prompt, accurate diagnosis of STEC infection is important because appropriate treatment early in the course of infection might ... Read more...

Comparison between pp65 antigenemia assay and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction for detection of active cytomegalovirus infection in routine diagnostics.

29 Sep 2009 Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and pp65 antigenemia assay for the detection of active cytomegalovirus infection in immunocompromised patients experiencing neutropenia after bone marrow or kidney transplantation have been compared with a ... Read more...

Rapid antigen tests for diagnosis of pandemic (Swine) influenza A/H1N1.

29 Sep 2009 We found that the sensitivities of 3 rapid influenza antigen tests for pandemic influenza A/H1N1 virus were low to moderate: BD Directigen EZ Flu A+B test (Becton Dickinson), 46.7%; BinaxNOW Influenza A&B (Inverness Medical), 38.3%; and QuickVue ... Read more...
