Introduction: A cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown origin was first reported in Wuhan China then the causative pathogen was identified and named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov2) and the
associated disease was named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Chest radiograph has lo...
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered one of the foremost cancers worldwide. Although the hepatic resection of HCC has a high existence in the clinical scenarios, locoregional management is preferred owing to the preservation of hepatic parenchyma with lower morbidity and mortality. Dy...

Context and Aim: Given the challenges of microscopy, we compared its performance with SD Bioline malaria rapid diagnostic test (MRDT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and evaluated the time it took for positive results to become negative after treatment of children with acute uncomplicated malaria. Su...
Background: Different diagnostic tools could improve early detection of coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19). A number of antibody-based serological point-of-care tests have
been developed to supplement real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction
(RT-PCR)-based diagnosis. This study describe...

Background: Timely testing is a key determinant of management outcomes of coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19). Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction tests are currently the mainstay for COVID-19 testing. However, serological point-of-care tests (PoCTs) can be useful in identifying asy...
This study evaluated a National External Quality Scheme Program for early infant diagnosis of HIV. Fourteen laboratory technicians participated, and nine testing panel cycles were sent between 2011 and 2014. The response rate was 100% for the first eight panels, and the number of technicians with a test ...

Over 5 million stillbirths and neonatal deaths occur annually. Limited and imprecise information on the cause of these deaths hampers progress in achieving global health targets. Complete diagnostic autopsies (CDAs)-the gold standard for cause of death determination-are difficult to perform in most high-...

Background: In recent decades, the world has witnessed unprecedented progress in child survival. However, our knowledge of what is killing nearly 6 million children annually in low- and middle-income countries remains poor, partly because of the inadequacy and reduced precision of the methods currently u...

Viral load testing is the WHO-recommended monitoring assay for patients on HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART). Point-of-care (POC) assays may help improve access to viral load testing in resource-limited settings. We compared the performance of the Alere Q NAT POC viral load technology (Alere Technologies,...
