External Genital Cutaneous Sarcoidosis Mimicking Lichen Sclerosus

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although external genital cutaneous sarcoidosis is rare, it can closely resemble lichen sclerosus (LS) and delay diagnosis. We report a case of a 69‐year‐old woman with long‐standing vulvar symptoms and LS‐like pallor of the labia minora and clitoris. Biopsy showed non‐caseating granulomas with negative infection stains, consistent with vulvar

ICSH Guidance on Bone Marrow Examination and Reporting

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Examination of the bone marrow (BM) remains fundamental to the diagnosis, classification, prognostication, and monitoring of hematolymphoid and other disorders affecting blood cell production. Since publication of the International Council for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH) guideline in 2008, advances in diagnostic technologies, disease

Outbreaks of Granulomatous Disease Associated With Vibrio harveyi Infection in Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × E. lanceolatus) Aquaculture in Taiwan

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Between 2015 and 2024, outbreaks of muscular and visceral granulomatous disease, resulting in moderate‐to‐severe mortality in farmed groupers, occurred in southern Taiwan. Initially, affected groupers were screened for granuloma‐associated pathogens, including Mycobacterium spp., Nocardia spp., Photobacterium damselae and Edwardsiella spp ...

Mortality in Salmon (Salmo salar) Fry Related to Lipoid Liver Disease Induced by Unbalanced Fatty Acid Composition of the Diet

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2023, all but one Swedish restocking farm rearing Baltic salmon and sea trout fry experienced massive mortality caused by lipoid liver disease (LLD). The struck farms used the same feed, and this was suspected to be the cause of the outbreak.

Patterns of Drug Resistance, Drug Resistance Conferring Mutations and Genomic DNA Methylation Revealed in Mycobacterium tuberculosis From South Africa

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tuberculosis remains a major public health threat globally, with drug‐resistant strains undermining treatment efficacy. We analyzed 126 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) isolates with diverse drug resistance spectra and selected 35 for whole genome sequencing (WGS) using Illumina NextSeq, SMRT PacBio Onso and SMRT PacBio Revio ...
