The seroprevalence of several infections in urticaria [PDF]
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2014 Results Serology for hepatitis B was found to be positive in 8 patients (3.38%) in the acute spontaneous urticaria group, in 9 patients (5.35%) in the chronic spontaneous urticaria group and in 5 subjects (2.27%) in the control group. Antibodies to HCV were identified in 3 patients (1.27%) with acute spontaneous urticaria, in 4 patients with chronic ...

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Background Blood transfusion's life‐saving potential is often marred by the risks of transfusion‐transmissible infections (TTIs) from blood donors, for which sub‐Saharan African countries record some of the highest burdens. Aims We aimed to assess the seroprevalence of HBV, HCV, HIV, and Treponema pallidum among blood donors in Nigeria, and ...

Current Distribution of Selected Vector‐borne Diseases in Domestic Dogs From Bucharest, Romania [PDF]
Vet Med SciSerological testing of 317 dogs in Bucharest (2020‐2024) revealed an overall Canine vector‐borne diseases (CVBD) seroprevalence of 8.8%, with Dirofilaria immitis (12.62%) being the most common. Shelter and older dogs had higher infection rates. Climate change and vector expansion may influence pathogen spread, underscoring the need for enhanced ...

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives We investigated the prevalence of anti‐phenolic glycolipid‐I (PGL‐I) IgM antibodies among temporarily unfit blood donors at the Pará State Blood Bank (HEMOPA), located in the Amazon region of northern Brazil. Using an arbitrary high cutoff for optical density (OD ≥0.750) in ELISA, a subset of donors was invited for clinical ...
