Also known as vestibular neuritis, vestibular neuronitis is the swelling of the vestibular nerve, which is responsible for sending balance signals from the inner ear to the brain. This condition usually causes vertigo. Vestibular neuronitis often follows a cold or other viral infection, although by...
It may include looking at discharge or cellular debris to diagnose an infection (such as an ear or skin infection). A biopsy (removing a very small part of a lump/mass) can also evaluate any lumps or masses to look for cancerous cells....

Meningitis diagnostic tests include tests such as latex agglutination tests, imaging, or spinal tap and the cerebrospinal fluid test is also used to detect meningitis. Moreover, meningitis can be caused owing to an ear sinus infection, a skull fracture, or after some surgeries. Incr...
pneumoniae, especially in children, the key factor in the laboratory diagnosis of invasive pneumococcal infections is the differentiation between infection and colonization.

For proof-of-concept, this device was used to detect Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2, a biomarker for malaria infection, which could be detected at concentrations as low as 8 ng/mL. Each test can be completed in <20 min and requires no equipment. To the best of our ...
The mPCR was the main test to identify M. pneumoniae 74% (54/73), RSV 68% (111/164) and Parainfluenza virus 56% (68/122). mPCR (47/96: 49%) and paired serology (37/96: 37%) performed similarly for the detection of Influenza infection. Detection of B. pertussis (7/25: 28%),...
