Zika Virus IgM Persists 25 Months After Symptom Onset

 Zika virus disease is caused by a virus transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes, which bite during the day. Symptoms are generally mild and include fever, rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise or headache. Symptoms typically last for 2–7 days. More...

Plasma Cytokine Responses Characterized in Melioidosis

 Melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by the environmental saprophyte Burkholderia pseudomallei, is endemic across many areas of Southeast Asia, South Asia, Northern Australia and America. B. pseudomallei is a facultative intracellular bacterium, a characteristic that contributes to its pathogenesis and persistence in the host and that may modulate the cytokine response to infection.

Immune Cells Linked to Malaria-Induced Anemia Through Autoantibody Production

 Malaria is still a major global health threat with over 200 million new infections and around 400,000 deaths per year. Anemia is a common complication associated with malaria that contributes significantly to the great morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. More...

Effect of Lipoprotein(A) on the Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia

 The recent focus on familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) as a high-risk condition predisposing to premature coronary artery disease (CAD) has led to more widespread screening and diagnosis of the condition. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder. More...

Innovative Blood Test Aids Early Detection of Breast Cancer

 A blood test is being developed that could help detect breast cancer five years before any symptoms become apparent. This method would also be less uncomfortable and more cost effective than traditional mammograms. More...
