STUDY DESIGN: We genotyped discordant NoV GII strains identified in stool samples or rectal swabs collected prospectively from a cohort of children with acute gastroenteritis between December 2014 and July 2016.
Rotavirus is the most common agent responsible for acute gastroenteritis, mainly in young children. Its discovery in 1973 and its association with infantile gastro-enteritis represented a very important advancement in the study of gastro-enteritis not caused by ...
Antigen testing has also been used for detection of viral and parasitic causes of gastroenteritis, including adenovirus 40/41, rotavirus, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium. Antigen testing offers a more rapid and relatively sensitive method for viral and parasitic pathogen detection relative to viral...
RAT was performed on-site directly after sampling. RAT used in the study was Coviself, Pathocatch (Mylab Discovery Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Maharashtra, India), a qualitative immunochromatographic test for detection of SARS-CoV-2 specific antigens. This kit is validated by ICMR for use with NP ...
These effusions may be acute (because of an allergic cause or due to trauma)[21] or chronic.[22] In peritoneal effusions, increased eosinophils may be associated with neoplasms, parasitic infestation, allergic conditions, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and chronic peritoneal d...
and the color readout indicates the test result [5,6,7]. A multiplexed suspension-based immuno-array can detect five biothreat agents (i.e.,Yersinia pestis, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus [SARS-CoV], staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), ricin) in powder samples with a limit of...
(present in 35–65% of cases) or viral gastroenteritis may raise this suspicion. A previous insect bite, suspicious of Borrelia or rickettsiae, should always be investigated [8]. In patients with clinically suspected acute myocarditis, confirmatory test- ing usually begins with serum biomarkers. ...
and radiological imaging and of surgical specimens from patients undergoing surgery. AA was present in 54 patients, perforated appendicitis (PA) in 16, nonspecific abdominal pain in 34, and other abdominal pains (mesenteric lymphadenitis-MLA (2), acute gastroenteritis-AGE (3), Familial Mediterranean...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first detected in late December 2019 and has spread worldwide. Coronaviruses are enveloped, positive sense, single-stranded RNA viruses and employ a complicated pattern of virus genome leng
and PLY-ELISA urine test results were positive (n = 8). e Gastroenteritis caused by Salmonella spp. (n = 1), tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (n = 1), common cold (n = 3), urinary infection caused by Escherichia coli (n = 2), and vaginitis caused by Candida spp. (n ...
