Appropriate Serological Testing in Pregnancy [PDF]
Vox Sanguinis, 1992 We read with interest the recent report by Garner et al. [l], in which anti-E was detected early in pregnancy solely through the use of enzymetreated red blood cells (RBC). The serological reactivity of this anti-E changed dramatically during pregnancy; the antibody became detectable by the indirect antiglobulin test, and at 37 weeks’ gestation had a ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective We evaluated the role of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), prednisone, and other risk factors for bone mineral density (BMD) loss and osteoporosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods We calculated the association between 25(OH)D levels and other potential risk factors and BMD measures (spine T scores) and osteoporosis (defined as a T ...

Laboratory perspectives for Leprosy: Diagnostic, prognostic and predictive tools
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2022 The diagnosis of leprosy poses several challenges. The bacillary load, serology, and tissue response are determined by the host immune status, which make individual tests unsuitable across the spectrum.

Serologic Testing for Celiac Disease [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2002 We read with interest the report by Martini et al. (1). The authors compared the accuracy of five commercially available IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) ELISAs with data from anti-endomysial antibodies (EmAs) in the diagnosis and follow-up of adult patients with celiac disease (CD) and supported the superiority of the EmA test over ELISAs ...
