Dengue Infection Complicated by Hyperinflammatory Condition

The global incidence of dengue infection has grown dramatically and been estimated to 390 million infections yearly. This mosquito-borne virus infection occasionally develops into a potentially lethal state called severe dengue (SD). More...

Thromboembolic Risk Increases after Hematological Cancers

Hematological cancer includes leukemia, bone marrow cancer and cancers of the lymph nodes. Therapeutic advances have improved survival after hematological cancers. In turn, patients may be at increased risk of thromboembolic and bleeding events. More...

Potential Biomarker Identified for Relapse of Acquired Hemophilia A

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare autoimmune bleeding disorder caused by the presence of autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) and the mortality rate remains high. The disorder characterized by bleeding that occurs in patients with a personal and family history negative for hemorrhages. More...

New Method Rapidly Monitors Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary disorder that affects red blood cells, distorting their natural disc shape into a crescent moon or "sickle" shape. Normal red blood cells move freely through small vessels throughout the body to deliver oxygen. With sickle cell disease, the misshapen red blood cells become hard and sticky, making it difficult for them to move through blood vessels. More...

Rapid Tests Assessed for Chronic Chagas Disease

 Chagas disease (CD) is a parasitic disease that can affect seriously the health status of affected individuals. People with CD, mainly living in remote areas of Latin America, often face major barriers to the disease recognition, diagnosis and treatment. In the U.S., there are estimated to be at least 300,000 cases of chronic Chagas disease among people originally from countries of Latin America where Chagas disease is endemic. More...

Automated Hematology Analyzer Assessed for Malaria Diagnosis

Malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. Sub-Saharan Africa is most affected with Plasmodium falciparum accounting for 99% of estimated cases. Timely and accurate diagnosis of malaria is essential for disease management and control. More...
