Recombinant LPG3 Protein From Leishmania chagasi as an Antigen for the Diagnosis of Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a human neglected tropical disease in which dogs participate as reservoirs of the etiological agent Leishmania chagasi. The identification of infected dogs is important to the control of VL, and recombinant proteins are strong antigen candidates for canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) serodiagnosis. In this work,

Recurrent Septic Shock in Immunosuppressed Patients [PDF]
ABSTRACT Cytomegalovirus gastroenteritis presents with diarrhea and abdominal pain in immunosuppressed patients, and histopathological examination is essential by endoscopy. This case illustrates that cytomegalovirus enteritis may develop insidiously and possibly invoke shock in immunocompromised patients, warranting its inclusion in the differential ...

Comparison of IgG-ELISA and IgG4-ELISA for Toxocara serodiagnosis
Diagnosis of human toxocariasis, caused by Toxocara canis or Toxocara cati, normally relies on a combination of the presence of clinical signs and symptoms backed by positive serology. The use of Toxocara excretory-secretory antigen (TES) in ELISA assays

Comparison of the diagnostic accuracy of three rapid tests for the serodiagnosis of hepatic cystic echinococcosis in humans [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE) is based primarily on imaging, in particular with ultrasound for abdominal CE, complemented by serology when imaging results are unclear. In rural endemic areas, where expertise in ultrasound may be
