Mepraia spinolai, a wild vector of Trypanosoma cruzi in Chile, is an abundant triatomine species that frequently infected by the parasite causes Chagas disease. The aim this study was to determine if parasitic load T. M. spinolai related its blood meal source and infecting DTUs cruzi.The captured rural areas. In laboratory, DNA extracted from abdomen quantified using qPCR. Real time PCR assays for four were performed. Blood sources identified real-time amplification vertebrate cytochrome b...
Abstract Intra-amniotic infection with Candida species is an uncommon but severe condition high fetal morbimortality and no established clinical guidelines for its management. We report a albicans intra-amniotic diagnosed in 25-week pregnant woman, successfully treated high-dose liposomal amphotericin B. Pregnancy was prolonged until 30 weeks, despite persistently positive cultures amniotic fluid, healthy newborn delivered without evidence of systemic infection. Amphotericin concentration...
Abstract Andes virus (ANDV) is the only hantavirus transmitted between humans through close contact. We detected genome and proteins of ANDV in breast milk cells from an infected mother Chile who to her child, suggesting gastrointestinal infection as a route person-to-person transmission.
We studied the diagnostic reliability of a modification Enzygnost EBV test (Behringwerke, Germany) for detection IgG, IgA, and IgM antibodies (Abs) in diagnosis Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) disease. One hundred twenty-three serum samples were studied: 14 asymptomatic subjects without infection, 48 patients with primary 46 past infection (11 other acute infections), 8 but viral 7 probable clonal stimulation B lymphocytes caused by different microorganisms. is based on an ELISA pool antigens. In...
It is undetermined whether patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) have increased prevalence of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) since many VCFs are asymptomatic and radiographs may overlook them. We compared the in older than 60 years without IBDs.We studied 55 IBDs 165 controls who underwent CT scans for nonspinal conditions. evaluated presence VCFs, fracture severity using Genant score, we determined age, sex, diagnosis IBD, treatment, time were associated VCFs. Using...
Screening for Treponema pallidum infection is carried out on a large human population.To reduce costs, fewer tests which still offer adequate sensitivity and specificity could be performed.We studied the reliability of novel indirect ELISA method to test this infection.Several panels sera were used that corresponded 40 primary infections (group 1), 13 recurrences 2), 348 latent 3), 5 samples with anticardiolipin antibodies 4), 15 from patients Lyme borreliosis 5), 400 blood donors healthy...
Introducción: vasa previa (VP) corresponde al paso de los vasos umbilicales por las membranas amnióticas, sin protección gelatina Wharton o placenta, antes la presentación fetal, sobre el orificio cervical interno. Pese a su baja incidencia, diagnóstico prenatal es relevante graves consecuencias que puede tener esta patología en caso no ser diagnosticada. El objetivo revisión presentar evidencia disponible para manejo embarazadas con antenatal VP. Materiales y métodos: analizamos todos...
