A dried blood spot test for diagnosis of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

Journal of Immunological Methods, 2022
Granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor autoantibodies (GMAbs) mediate the pathogenesis of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (autoimmune PAP) and their quantification in serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) - the serum GMAb test - is the 'gold standard' for diagnosis of autoimmune PAP. Because GMAbs are high in autoimmune

Dried Blood Spots for Testing Drugs of Misuse

2017
Testing of drugs of abuse (DOAs) in blood samples is fraught with problems related to instability and half-lives. This calls for alternative sampling methods. Using dried blood spots (DBSs) for this purpose appears to be a promising approach. DBS techniques are in regular use to screen new-borns for metabolic disorders, in epidemiological studies and ...

Presymptomatic late-onset Pompe disease identified by the dried blood spot test

Neuromuscular Disorders, 2013
Pompe disease or glycogen storage disease type II is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the GAA gene leading to muscle weakness. Here we describe a 15 years old presymptomatic patient with normal muscle MRI, unspecific muscle biopsy findings but abnormal acid maltase activity in a dried blood spot test.

Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Deafness from Fresh and Archived Dried Blood Spots

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2018
Comprehensive genetic testing has become integral in the evaluation of children with deafness, but the amount of blood required to obtain DNA can be prohibitive in newborns. Dried blood spots (DBSs) are routinely collected and would provide an alternative source of DNA. Our objective was to evaluate the use of DBSs for comprehensive genetic testing for

Dried blood spot testing in infants at risk of hepatitis B

Gastrointestinal Nursing, 2015
The dried blood spot (DBS) is a national, free-of-charge testing service that has been validated by Public Health England (PHE) to increase the testing of at-risk infants born to hepatitis B-positive mothers at 12 months of age in primary care. Infants born to hepatitis B-positive mothers are at the greatest individual risk of infection at the time of

Dried Blood Spot Test for Glycated Hemoglobin Measurement in Pediatric Diabetes Care

Canadian Journal of Diabetes
The dried blood spot (DBS) card is a novel collection method for measuring glycated hemoglobin (A1C) in individuals with diabetes mellitus. The potential benefits of DBS specimens compared with traditional phlebotomy include a reduction in required total blood volume, reduced procedural pain, and an ability for self-initiated collection.

Evaluation of dried blood spots for Epstein–Barr virus nucleic acid testing

Journal of Clinical Virology
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous and oncogenic virus that is associated with various malignancies and non-malignant diseases and EBV DNA detection is widely used for the diagnosis and prognosis prediction for these diseases. The dried blood spots (DBS) sampling method holds great potential as an alternative to venous blood samples in ...
