Rapid diagnostic tests for cystic echinococcosis (CE) are convenient to support ultrasound diagnosis in uncertain cases, especially in resource-limited settings. We found comparable diagnostic performances of the experimental Hyd Rapid Test and the commercial VIRapid HYDATIDOSIS Test, used in our diagnostic laboratory, using samples from well-characterized hepatic CE cases.

Abstract

Rapid diagnostic tests for cystic echinococcosis (CE) are convenient to support ultrasound diagnosis in uncertain cases, especially in resource-limited settings. We found comparable diagnostic performances of the experimental Hyd Rapid Test and the commercial VIRapid HYDATIDOSIS Test, used in our diagnostic laboratory, using samples from well-characterized hepatic CE cases.

Medical Research, Diagnosis & Treatment contains studies of existing and developing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, as well as specific classes of clinical intervention. Resources in this category emphasize the difference between normal and disease states, with the ultimate goal of more effective diagnosis and intervention. Specific areas of interest include pathology and histochemical analysis of tissue, clinical chemistry and biochemical analysis of medical samples, diagnostic imaging, radiology and radiation, surgical research, anesthesiology and anesthesia, transplantation, artificial tissues, and medical implants. Resources focused on the disease, diagnosis, and treatment of specific organs or physiological systems are excluded and are covered in the Medical Research: Organs & Systems category.
Microbiology covers the biology and biochemistry of microorganisms, bacterial, viral, and parasitic, as well as the medical implications and treatments of the subset of these organisms known to cause disease in humans and/or animals. Biotechnology applications of microorganisms for basic science or clinical use are also covered. Resources that emphasize immune response to pathogens and its modulation by clinical intervention are excluded and are covered in the Immunology category.
