Abstract
We review the modalities and importance of diagnosis and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection in children. At this time, the role for interferon-gamma release assays in low-income, high-burden settings is rather limited but further research in the coming years might clear their role in childre...

Leprosy Review (82)1 2011
Abstract
Abstract
We were able to determine the cutoff value for the HRT threshold in relation to outcomes of OFCs. The cutoff value was 6 ng/ml of egg white antigen in HEA and REA (p < 0.01), 40 ng/ml of milk antigen in CMA (p < 0.01), and 500 ng/ml of wheat antigen in WA (p < 0.05). The efficiency was 70.3% for HEA...

Abstract
Skin flaps were characterized by the necrotic loss of tissue starting from distal areas of the flaps in diabetic mice. Decay of epidermal and dermal structures within skin flap tissue was paralleled by an immune cell-mediated expression of chemokines (macrophage inflammatory protein 2, macrophage ch...

Point-of-care diagnosis of influenza requires sound recognition of the prevalence of the signs and symptoms of the patients, which would help to define the pattern of clinical presentation of this infection. In severely ill patients, however, clinical features of influenza could be erroneously modif...

Clinical Nephrology (74)2 2010
Abstract
Mean immune response in 61 samples was 368 +/- 179 ATP ng/ml. Immune response was lower during BK virus (BKV) or CMV viremia compared to no viremia (p = 0.009 and p = 0.017), and no viremia was seen if immune response was > 380. BK or JC viruria was not associated with low immune response. Immune re...

Abstract
We defined four major haplotypes in our population: the two major haplotypes (named haplotypes A and B) bear both the 5383_5397del variant and the two most common SNP sets found in the CEU population. Quantification analysis revealed that genotype B/B had the highest median of mRNA expression levels...
