Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of death in developing countries and its recent resurgences in both developed and developing countries warrants global attention. Globally, there were an estimated of 9.27 million incident cases of TB in 2007. This is an increase from 9.24 million cases in 2006, 8.3 million cases in 2000 and 6.6 million cases in 1990. Most of the estimated num...

a strength of 1:500 with distilled water, and the process of staining is carried out exactly in the same way as that described under the above method, except that acriflavine in the abovementioned strength is used instead of methylene blue. I use the counter-stain for half to one minute. To obtain the best results, all the detail in the careful preparation and fixation of smears, as well as the...

BACKGROUND The main goal of the present study was to develop a new sensitive and specific PCR based method for Identification of Cryptosporidium sp. using novel primers from 18S ribosomal RNA. Cryptosporidiosis in high-risk host groups particularly in neonates and immuno-compromised individuals may result in death. To the best of our knowledge this is the first study regarding develop a new PCR...

I n underdeveloped countries, laboratory faci l i ties for the bacterio­ logical d iagnosis of tubercu losis are, at present , very l imited . Cultural methods are un l i kely to be used on a large scale for many years to come. It is , therefore, important to investigate the most economical method of examin ing smears for tubercle baci l l i . Fluorescence microscopy was introduced by H agemann...
