Microbiological Features of Mucormycosis Determined in Critically Ill Patients

Mucormycosis is a rare invasive fungal infection with high mortality in patients with severe underlying predisposing factors causing immunosuppression. The exact incidence of mucormycosis and the optimal therapeutic approach is difficult to determine, especially in severe cases, due to the rarity of the disease. More...

Dengue Patients’ Hemoglobin Concentrations Compared by POC and CBC

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection that is mainly found in tropical and sub-tropical climates. The natural history of dengue has the unique characteristic of plasma leakage that results in hemoconcentration as well as vasculopathy and thrombocytopenia that result in bleeding. More...

Molecular Characterization of Microbiota in Cerebrospinal Fluid Using WGA

Hydrocephalus is a common cause of neurological disability in children. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt placement allows children with hydrocephalus to survive and avoid ongoing brain injury. More...

High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T Identifies Myocardial Injury with COVID-19

Cardiac troponin (cTn) is the preferred biomarker for the detection of myocardial injury (MI), which is defined when there is at least one cTn concentration above the 99th percentile upper-reference limit (URL) of a healthy reference cohort. More...

Fluorescent Lymphocytes and Smudge Cells Explored in Infectious Mononucleosis

Infectious mononucleosis (also known as Glandular fever) is an infection most commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a human herpes virus. Glandular fever is not particularly contagious. It is spread mainly through contact with saliva, such as through kissing, or sharing food and drink utensils. More...

Zika Virus IgM Antibody Found in West Nile Virus Patients

West Nile virus (WNV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) are mosquito-borne viruses in the family Flaviviridae. Residents in, and travelers to, areas where the viruses are circulating are at risk for infection, and both viruses can cause an acute febrile illness. More...

Key Factors Signal Infection Risk in Alcoholic Hepatitis

Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AAH) is a severe form of liver injury with mortality as high as 30%-40% at 90 days. As a result of altered immune function in AAH, bacterial infections are common and are associated with poor outcomes. More...
