Diagnostic Accuracy of Histoplasma Urine Antigen Assay Evaluated

Histoplasmosis is an endemic mycosis in many regions of Latin America. In the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected population it manifests as progressive disseminated histoplasmosis (PDH), an entity hard to diagnose since the causative fungi, Histoplasma capsulatum, is slow growing and requires advance biosafety for its handling.

Plasma Human Proteins Associated with Acute Pediatric Malaria

Severe malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum continues to be one of the leading infectious causes of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. The intimate interaction between the pathophysiology of the human host and the biology of the P. falciparum parasite results in a wide spectrum of disease outcomes in malaria. More...

Ebola Test with Portable Reader Authorized for Emergency Use

Ebola is a rare but deadly virus that causes fever, body aches, and diarrhea, and sometimes bleeding inside and outside the body. As the virus spreads through the body, it damages the immune system and organs. Ultimately, it causes levels of blood-clotting cells to drop. This leads to severe, uncontrollable bleeding and kills up to 90% of people infected. More...
