We report the rare case of HES involving oral cavity associated with esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract, which we succeeded in diagnosing precisely through a biopsy specimen obtained from the lip. A 64-year-old man had dysphagia, swelling of the oral mucosa and the posterior cervical muscles, accompanied by an abdominal pain and diarrhea. Peripheral blood cell count showed marked eosinophili...
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA load monitoring in peripheral blood has been shown to be a useful tool for the diagnosis of aberrant EBV infections. In the present study we compared the relative diagnostic values of EBV DNA load monitoring in unfractionated whole blood and simultaneously obtained serum or plasma samples from Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) patients, transplant recipients, human immunodefi...
BACKGROUND Mucosal specimens are essential to evaluate compartmentalized immune responses to HIV vaccine candidates and other mucosally targeted investigational products. We studied the acceptability and feasibility of repeated mucosal sampling in East African clinical trial participants at low risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. METHODS AND FINDINGS The Kenya AIDS Vaccine ...
The aim of this paper is to identify advantages that could be obtained by orientation of the biopsy specimen using the marking technique. We reviewed our experience (4,500 cases) and the published literature. The peripheral (proximal) end of the fresh specimen is marked with ink soon after needle delivering in a few minutes. It is performed easily in association with pre-embedding method. Five ...
INTRODUCTION A pneumatic tube system (PTS) is a cost-effective, rapid transport modality that utilizes induced pressure changes. We evaluated the clinical importance of 2 transport modalities, human courier and PTS, for blood gas specimens. METHODS Following open heart surgery, 35 simultaneous pairs of arterial and venous blood gas specimens were analyzed from 20 subjects. Of each pair, one s...
Selection of appropriate specimens for culture and microscopic examination is based on the results of clinical and radiographic examination and consideration of the most likely fungal pathogen that may cause such an infection. Specimens should be collected under aseptic conditions or after appropriate cleaning and decontamination of the collection site and rapidly transported to the clinical my...
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for herpes simplex virus developed by Ortho Diagnostic Systems, Inc., was evaluated. In phase I experiments, 263 clinical specimens from genital lesions were extracted into serum-free medium and then tested by ELISA for herpes simplex virus antigen. The results were compared with those obtained by conventional viral culture. Of 83 specimens, 65 w...
Accuracy of phenotyping of lipoproteinemias by electrophoresis was assessed by comparing the interpretation of that laboratory test alone with the clinical diagnosis. Results were consistent with the clinical diagnosis in 88.7% of the series. Inconsistent results most frequently occurred with samples for which cholesterol and triglyceride determinations were not made or considered. Quantitative...
Molar pregnancies in most instances develop within the uterine cavity, but may occur at any site. Ectopic molar pregnancy is a rare event. The objective of this study was to present a case of ruptured tubal molar gestation, discuss its clinical features and ways to improve diagnostic accuracy. A 35-year-old woman presented with features suggestive of ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy. There was ...
Direct sequencing of SARS-coronavirus S and N genes from clinical specimens shows limited variation.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) emerged, in November 2002, as a novel agent causing severe respiratory illness. To study sequence variation in the SARS-CoV genome, we determined the nucleic acid sequence of the S and N genes directly from clinical specimens from 10 patients--1 specimen with no matched SARS-CoV isolate, from 2 patients; multiple specimens from...
