Results: CSF procalcitonin level in bacterial meningitis was significantly higher than viral meningitis (1.72卤0.9 ng/ml and 0.71卤0.04ng/ml respectively,Pvalue= 0.00). A serum procalcitonin level >0.5 ng/ml had high sensitivity and specificity ( 90.1% and 97.1% respectively) in the diagnosis ...
[0103] Human B-cells used for the generation of MAbs designed for administration to humans may represent a potential vehicle of viral transmission. Fusion partner cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from donors may be pre-screened to confirm absence of viral DNA, for example, b...

We found enteroviral meningitis (EM) to reduce CSF concentration of A beta 42 (median, 1051.1 pg/mL; interquartile range (IQR), 737.6-1559.5 vs. median, 459.4 pg/mL; IQR, 312.0-662.0, p < 0.001). In contrast, CSF concentrations of t-tau and S100B were not affected by EM. There ...
R2210 Study in changes of CSF in 50 patients with bacterial, viral, and TB meningitisFollowing a recent phylogenetic analysis of all 39 species of the genus Legionella and related organisms, the name Legionella lytica has been proposed for bacteria previously considered either as Sarcobium lyticum...
While human malaria studies lack specific reports on GRO chemokine levels, increased levels have been documented in bacterial meningitis [7,33] and in viral encephalopathies [34]. Animal studies indicate elevated GROα and GROβ levels in infections with Theiler virus [35], JC virus [36], an...
