Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is an important cause of mortality in liver transplant patients. Clinical and microbiological diagnosis difficult, it frequently achieved only after autopsy. Early antifungal therapy could improve the survival these patients.A retrospective case-control study IA recipients (OLT) was performed to determine value detection galactomannan Aspergillus antigen serum using a sandwich-ELISA test (Platelia, Sanofi Diagnostic Pasteur). Stored frozen specimens obtained...
Cultivated oat (Avena sativa), an important crop in many countries, can suffer significant losses through infection by the fungus Puccinia coronata, causal agent of crown rust disease. Understanding molecular basis existing partial resistance to this disease might provide targets interest for improvement programs. A suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) library was constructed using cDNA from partially resistant genotype MN841801-1 after inoculation with pathogen. total 929 genes...
Early diagnosis of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is important for successful treatment.All cases EPTB diagnosed at Ramon y Cajal Hospital, Madrid, Spain, from 1997 to 2008 were analysed and compared with pulmonary (PTB) patients identify differential parameters that could serve predict the presence initial presentation. Different microbiological techniques analysed, including amplification 16S-rRNA in urine.During study period, 814 TB our centre; 330 (40.5%) EPTB. Concomitant PTB was...
It is unclear whether optimal immunological recovery reduces the risk of tuberculosis (TB) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), whom it still significantly higher than general population.Retrospective cohort study ART-treated without a previous diagnosis TB. TB was microbiologically proven. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with TB.This included 1824 patients; median follow-up 473 days. The CD4 count...
There may be an interaction between the CD4 count and tuberculin skin test (TST) for development of tuberculosis (TB) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).Observational, cohort study treated with HAART during course HIV infection whom TB was confirmed by a positive culture result. Patients were stratified TST count. Univariate multivariate analyses performed to identify risk factors associated TB.The included 1824...
The long-term benefit of isoniazid chemoprophylaxis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected patients and risk factors for failure were studied 131 HIV-infected who received >9 months preventive therapy. During a median follow-up 43 months, 8 developed tuberculosis (TB) (6%; 0.61 cases per 100 patient-years). Only the persistence exposure to TB was statistically associated with development disease (relative hazard, 3.17; 95% confidence interval, 1.56–17; P < .001). Our data suggest...
Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) is an emergent plant pathogen that causes a yellow leaf disorder in tomato and other solanaceous crops. ToCV positive-sense, single stranded (ss)RNA bipartite with long flexuous virions belonging to the genus Crininivirus (family Closteroviridae ). phloem-limited, transmissible by whiteflies, symptoms of interveinal chlorosis, bronzing, necrosis lower leaves accompanied decline vigor reduction fruit yield. The availability infectious clones valuable tool for...
