Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics for Mycobacterium tuberculosis
This chapter highlights current state-of-the-art methods for the detection and identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) complex in the clinical diagnostic laboratory. Methods discussed include stain and culture which traditionally would have been followed by phenotypic-based identification methods. At this point in time however, molecular methods are considered the gold standard for b...
متن کاملThe Clinical and Health Economic Value of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics
The ultimate goal of diagnostic testing is to guide disease management in order to improve patient outcomes and patient well-being. Patient populations are rarely homogenous and accurate diagnostic tests can dissect the patient population and identify those patients with similar symptoms but very different underlying pathophysiology that will respond differently to different treatments. This st...
متن کاملLaboratory diagnostics for HIV infection.
Laboratory diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is fundamental for detecting and monitoring infection. Many diagnostic tools are available that are based on both detection of HIV-specific antibodies and virus antigen, or nucleic acid. As technology evolves, HIV testing assays are being improved providing better sensitivity and specificity. In this short review, we summarize...
متن کاملClinical implications of using molecular diagnostics for ovarian cancers.
In the era of morphologic diagnostics, any epithelial tumor on or involving the ovaries was presumed to come from and be strictly of ovarian origin, apart from the rare but clearly metastatic tumors. Thus, many women who might have had small fallopian tube primary cancers that rapidly extended on to or into the ovary were deemed to have ovarian cancer. Now, as we begin to better understand that...
متن کاملAdvances in real-time PCR: application to clinical laboratory diagnostics.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become one of the most important tools in molecular diagnostics, providing exquisite sensitivity and specificity for detection of nucleic acid targets. Real-time monitoring of PCR has simplified and accelerated PCR laboratory procedures and has increased information obtained from specimens including routine quantification and differentiation of amplificat...
