Abstract More than 200 million COVID-19 survivors have lasting symptoms after recovering, but the duration and related risk factors remain uncertain. This study focused on all 6551 patients diagnosed with at a medical institution in Hiroshima from March 2020 to July 2022. In November 2022, questionnaire survey was conducted regarding post-COVID their duration. The prevalence of were illustrated using Kaplan–Meier method. Risk for over 3 months interfering daily life assessed via multivariate...
Abstract Aim To estimate the weighted prevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) antibodies and risk factors among pregnant women in Burkina Faso to evaluate efficiency dried blood spots (DBS) detecting HEV antibodies. Methods We first evaluated DBS by comparing 62 with matched serum samples using recomWell IgG IgM kits (Mikrogen Diagnostik). Anti‐HEV immunoglobulin G (IgG) M (IgM) were identified 491 collected from kits. RNA was tested nested polymerase chain reaction HEV‐antibodies positive....
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major global health issue, with an estimated 20 million infections annually. Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the diagnostic gold standard due to its precision, it expensive and technically demanding. Antibody tests offer more practical cost-effective alternative, although their accuracy can vary factors, such as test manufacturer, antigen composition, HEV genotype, host immune status.
