[ 1 ] - مقایسه علائم بالینی، یافته‌های آزمایشگاهی و دموگرافیک در کودکان مبتلا به عفونت حاد دستگاه تنفس تحتانی با ویروس سنسیشیال تنفسی و متاپنوموویروس انسانی

Background: There is a large overlap among various etiologic agents of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a novel agent which could cause a similar clinical picture as RSV which necessitate more evaluation in developing countries Methods: In this cross sectional study, pharyngeal swabs from admitted kids with LRTI under 5 years of age were analyzied by...

[ 2 ] - Prevalence of anti-HBc in HBsAg negative blood donors using two enzyme immunoassays kits

Abstract Background and Objectives Use of kits with high sensitivity and specificity to determine the prevalence of antibodies against hepatitis B virus (anti-HBc) core antigen is important. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B virus antibody in HBsAg negative blood donors using two anti-HBc enzyme immunoassay kits (DIA.PRO and SIEMENS).   Materials and Methods...

[ 3 ] - Comparison of Western blotting and PCR assays for confirmation of HTLV-1 virus in volunteer blood donors
