An important limitation of the T-SPOT(®).TB assay is its inability to distinguish active tuberculosis (TB) from latent tuberculous infection (LTBI).We proposed a new calculation method for T-SPOT and assessed effect on distinguishing TB LTBI.A total 162 patients 97 LTBI individuals were diagnosed according conventional tests assay.The results early secreted antigenic target 6 (ESAT-6) culture filtrate protein 10 (CFP-10) in cannot be recommended LTBI. The number phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)...
Abstract Background COVID-19 is a new and highly contagious respiratory disease that has caused global spread, high case fatality rate in severe patients, huge medical burden due to invasive mechanical ventilation. The current diagnosis treatment guidelines are still need be improved, more excellent clinical experience needed provide reference. Methods We analyzed summarized data of 97 confirmed adult patients (including 26 cases) admitted the Fifth Affiliated Hospital Sun Yat-sen University...
Bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are potentially life-threatening related to poorer outcomes. Colistin is considered one of the last-resort treatments against human infections multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, emergence strains from blood that co-harboring mcr and carbapenem resistance genes were as a serious problem.In this study, two mcr-9-harboring MDR Enterobacter cloacae isolates BSI034 BSI072 recovered BSI patients...
Introduction. Magnesium (Mg) administration has been shown to promote bronchodilation and improve lung function in asthma. It also plays an additional role modulating the immune responses. This study was initiated explore if Mg supplementation could affect secretion of cytokines acute asthmatic CD4+ T cells. Methods.
