Brucellosis patients present various non-specific clinical symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, sweating, joint pain, arthritis, myalgia, and headache. Based on the nonspecifity of its signs symtoms, we decided to evaluate whether mean platelet volume (MPV) , neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), (PLR) will contribute diagnosis.In this retrospective study, reviewed hospital-records 60 children with a confirmed diagnosis brucellosis in Kayseri between January 2013 2016, compared hematological...

Abstract Background Streptococcus pneumoniae infections are challenging due to pneumococci having more than 100 serotypes. This ongoing study is aimed evaluate serotype distribution of S. causing pneumococcal in adults ( >18 years) and provide a perspective regarding coverage both current future vaccines. Methods Pneumococcal strains were collected from 22 centers between January 2019 December 2022. Serogrouping was performed using latex particle agglutination, serotyping by the...

Abstract Diagnosis of COVID19 is based on reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) samples. As NPS sampling a discomforting invasive procedure, studies were conducted to investigate the performance saliva and mouthwash (MW) samples in RT-PCR. There limited data about MW We have developed new method for concentrating gargle (GMW) be used In our study, we aimed concentration GMW detection SARS-CoV-2. A paired sample collected from patients 11...
