TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis is described, which comprises the performance of a DNA amplification involving the use of a primer pair by using DNA that is derived from a sample as a template and detection of an amplification product, characterized in that the primer pair used for the DNA amplification is designed on the basis of nucleotide sequences of the regions corresponding to the nucleotide numbers 3654 to 4320 and 4351 to 4448 in the SEQ ID No.

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey was conducted to obtain insight in the attitude of Dutch physicians towards pathogenicity, diagnostic-and therapeutic approach towards Dientamoeba fragilis in children.

TL;DR: In this paper , the distribution of a real-world patient population with hospitalised COPD according to the current classification across the newly proposed severity classification was investigated, and the results of this study provide insight into the heterogeneity of hospitalised ECOPD and show that the newly defined Rome criteria can differentiate between events with different short-term mortality rates.

TL;DR: Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with particular focus on real-time 16S rDNA detection, will be discussed in this review, for detection of bacterial contamination in platelet concentrates.

TL;DR: In this paper , a prospective longitudinal study was conducted in the border area between Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands to examine the pandemic response over time and the impact of infectious disease control in a cross-border setting.
