The definition of tuberculosis infection based on the spectrum of tuberculosis disease
Latent tuberculosis infection was the term traditionally used to indicate tuberculosis (TB) infection. This term was used to define “a state of persistent immune response to stimulation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens through tests such as the tuberculin skin test (TST) or an interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) without clinically active TB”.
Differential Diagnosis of Latent Tuberculosis Infection and Active Tuberculosis: A Key to a Successful Tuberculosis Control Strategy
As an ancient infectious disease, tuberculosis (TB) is still the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent worldwide. Latent TB infection (LTBI) has been recognized as the largest source of new TB cases and is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving the aim of the End TB Strategy.
LIOFeron®TB/LTBI: A novel and reliable test for LTBI and tuberculosis
High accuracy diagnostic screening tests for tuberculosis (TB) are required to improve the diagnosis of both active TB and latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection (LTBI). The novel IGRA LIOFeron®TB/LTBI assay was tested and its accuracy was compared to the QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus assay.
Diagnostic Lab Tests For Malaria: A Never-Ending Challenge
Malaria is a serious parasitic disease caused by an infection with a Plasmodium parasite. The organism is transmitted to humans through mosquito bites, and it’s endemic to specific regions of the world.
Monoclonal Antibody Technology, an extraordinary scaffold of immunoassays
Serological testing for COVID-19, pregnancy test, HIV test, vitamin D deficiency test, cancer biomarker testing, and many others running on the list
