serologic

Data are limited in that previous serologic surveys for filoviruses date back several decades (7-9) or have focused on specific populations and locations with high exposure to potential risk factors (6,10).

Based on comparative analysis of genetic, phylogenetic, and serologic data from the father and the son, the researchers concluded that the virus was accidentally transmitted to the son during the first days of the child's life.

A 2013 Belgian prospective study of 104 non-IgA-deficient adults and children diagnosed with celiac disease and 537 adults and children without celiac disease evaluated the accuracy of 4 manufacturers' serologic tests for IgA anti-tTG.

(5,6) After removal of the tick and all its body parts, the patient should undergo all necessary blood and serologic tests and be monitored closely for local and systemic complications.

Postvaccination serologic testing (at 1-2 months after the last dose) is recommended for all providers at high risk for occupational exposure to blood or body fluids.

When it comes to prevention, be selective in ordering serologic tests, Dr.

The finding comes from a serologic survey sponsored by the U.K.'s National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment Programme.

In addition, recent VZV-IgG serologic tests indicated that the antibody titer is still high (1:80 on the basis of 1:10 of a positive criterion).

Only a serologic screening process would identify all infected women and newborns in time to administer the medical treatment necessary to prevent neurologic sequelae of the illness in these infants (Am.

Two serologic methods can detect antibodies: (1) the indirect fluorescent antibody assay, which has a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 97%, (8) and (2) the enzyme immunoassay, which has become less popular in light of the high sensitivity and specificity of the indirect fluorescent antibody assay.

A different approach to testing for recent HIV infection is STARHS (Serologic Testing Algorithm for Recent HIV Seroconversion).

His last HIV serologic test, 3 months earlier, had been negative.

The sensitivity of nucleic acid sequence-based amplification compared to standard serologic testing in detecting cytomegalovirus (CMV) may allow earlier treatment of the infection in transplant patients.

Serologic surveys indicate that ZIKV infections can be relatively common among persons in southeastern Senegal and other areas of Africa, but that ZIKV-associated disease may be underreported or misdiagnosed.

To determine infant outcomes after postexposure prophylaxis, ACIP recommends postvaccination serologic testing (PVST) at age 9-18 months (4).
