Candidiasis

Nancy G. Warren, Barbara A. Body

Thin and coworkers demonstrated through statistical analysis that as much as 40% of vulvovaginal candidiasis may be sexually transmitted. The source of the candida strain in recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis has been the subject of a number of molecular epidemiologic studies. More recently …

Direct Diagnostic Tests for Lyme Disease

Steven E. Schutzer, Barbara A. Body, Jeff Boyle, Bernard M. Branson et autres

Borrelia burgdorferi was discovered to be the cause of Lyme disease in 1983, leading to seroassays. The 1994 serodiagnostic testing guidelines predated a full understanding of key B. burgdorferi antigens and have a number of shortcomings. These serologic tests cannot distinguish active …

Performance of Vitek MS v3.0 for Identification of Mycobacterium Species from Patient Samples by Use of Automated Liquid Medium Systems

E. L. Miller, Christopher A. Cantrell, Melodie A. Beard, Andrew Derylak et autres

The accuracy and robustness of the Vitek MS v3.0 matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) system was evaluated by identifying mycobacteria from automated liquid-medium systems using patient samples. This is the first report to demonstrate that proteins within …

Advances in Serodiagnostic Testing for Lyme Disease Are at Hand

John A. Branda, Barbara A. Body, Jeff Boyle, Bernard M. Branson et autres

The cause of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, was discovered in 1983. A 2-tiered testing protocol was established for serodiagnosis in 1994, involving an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or indirect fluorescence antibody, followed (if reactive) by immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin G Western immunoblots. These …
