Journal ArticleDOI

Tom Solomon,Nguyen Minh Dung,David W. Vaughn,Rachel Kneen,Rachel Kneen,Le Thi Thu Thao,Boonyos Raengsakulrach,Ha Thi Loan,Nicholas P. J. Day,Nicholas P. J. Day,Jeremy Farrar,Jeremy Farrar,Khin S. A. Myint,Mary J. Warrell,William James,Amanda Nisalak,Nicholas J. White,Nicholas J. White +17 more
TL;DR: In dengue endemic areas patients with encephalitis and encephalopathy should be investigated for this infection, whether or not they have other features of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental infection of the laboratory rat with the hepatitis E virus.
TL;DR: It is confirmed that HEV can replicate in laboratory rats and suggest new tissue sites for HEV replication and histopathology attributable to the inoculum in liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of leptospirosis and dengue in Thai children.
Daniel H. Libraty,Khin S. A. Myint,Clinton K. Murray,Robert V. Gibbons,Mammen P. Mammen,Timothy P. Endy,Wenjun Li,David W. Vaughn,Ananda Nisalak,Siripen Kalayanarooj,Duane R. Hospenthal,Sharone Green,Alan L. Rothman,Francis A. Ennis +13 more
TL;DR: Unrecognized leptospirosis can be a significant cause of “dengue-like” febrile illness in children and an enhanced ability to discriminate between leptosphereirosis and dengue early in illness will help guide the appropriate use of healthcare resources in often resource-limited settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved detection of Bartonella DNA in mammalian hosts and arthropod vectors by real-time PCR using the NADH dehydrogenase gamma subunit (nuoG).
James Colborn,Michael Kosoy,Vladimir L. Motin,Maxim V. Telepnev,Gustavo Valbuena,Khin S. A. Myint,Yuri Fofanov,Catherine Putonti,Chen Feng,Leonard F. Peruski +9 more
TL;DR: A whole-genome scanning technique is used to identify the NADH dehydrogenase gamma subunit (nuoG) primer set that is sensitive and specific enough to detect a diverse number of Bartonella species in a wide range of environmental samples yet maintains minimal cross-reactivity to mammalian host and arthropod vector organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a new rapid immunochromatographic assay for serodiagnosis of acute hepatitis E infection.
Khin S. A. Myint,Ming Guan,Hsiao Ying Chen,Yang Lu,David A. Anderson,Teresa Howard,Harald Noedl,Mammen P. Mammen +7 more
TL;DR: A rapid, immunochromatographic assay for IgM antibodies to HEV (ASSURE HEV IgM Rapid Test) is a sensitive and specific tool for the rapid diagnosis of acute HEV infection.
