Real-time PCR has revolutionized the way clinical microbiology laboratories diagnose many
human microbial infections. This testing method combines PCR chemistry with fluorescent …

Enteroviruses are the major causes of aseptic meningitis. The major focus of diagnosis
remains ruling out bacterial infection or confirming enteroviral etiology of infection. Properly …

The future health costs associated with predicted climate change–related events such as
hurricanes, heat waves, and floods are projected to be enormous. This article estimates the …

Background Non-polio human enteroviruses are the leading cause of aseptic meningitis in
children. The role of enterovirus PCR for diagnosis and management of aseptic meningitis …

Enteroviruses cause infections that present in diverse ways and affect people of all ages.

BACKGROUND: Human parechoviruses (HPeVs) have been associated with severe
conditions such as neonatal sepsis and meningitis in young children. Rapid identification of …

Background. Enterovirus (EV) infections can be rapidly detected by PCR. However, several
studies suggest that results must be available early in the management of the patient to …

Background: Enterovirus (EV) infections commonly cause fever in infants younger than 90
days of age. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has improved our ability to diagnose EV …

Enteroviruses (EVs) are an important source of infection in the paediatric age, with most
cases concerning the neonatal age and early infancy. Molecular epidemiology is crucial to …

Migration is a channel through which Chagas disease is imported, and vertical transmission
is a channel through which the disease is spread in non-endemic countries. This study …
