TL;DR: Positivity of IgM OR IgG for LFA resulted in a decrease in specificity compared to IgG alone without a gain in diagnostic performance except for VivaDiag.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the incidence of invasive disease due to these pathogens during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic and found that containment policies and public information campaigns likely reduced transmission of S pneumoniae, H influenzae, and N meningitidis, leading to a significant reduction in lifethreatening invasive diseases in many countries worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibody response against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and nucleoprotein evaluated by four automated immunoassays and three ELISAs.

TL;DR: The antibody response against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and nucleoprotein using four automated immunoassays and three ELISAs for the detection of total Ig antibodies or IgG in COVID-19 patients was determined and seroconversion occurred within 3 weeks after onset of symptoms with all assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum (1-3)-β-d-Glucan as a Tool for Diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia in Patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection or Hematological Malignancy

TL;DR: Serum BG testing looks promising for the noninvasive diagnosis of PCP and a higher cutoff value than for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis or candidiasis could be used safely and will improve the specificity of the test.
Journal ArticleDOI
Candida and its dual lifestyle as a commensal and a pathogen.
TL;DR: Candida spp.
