Due to PCT’s variance between microbial infections and healthy individuals, it has become a marker to improve identification of bacterial infection and guide antibiotic therapy. [14] The table below is a summary from Schuetz, Albrich, and Mueller, [ 14 ] summarizing the current data of selected, relevant studies investigating PCT in different ...
In a 2005 study of 160 patients with symptomatic M. perstans infection in south Chad, DEC was administered in 200 mg. doses, twice daily for 21 days with a gradual dosage increase in the first three days. [3] The single course of DEC lowered microfilarae in 80% of subjects, but did not eliminate the infection or related symptoms. [3]

A titre has significance only if it is greatly elevated (> 200), but a rise in titre demonstrated in paired blood samples taken days apart is more informative for diagnosis. The antibody levels begin to rise after 1 to 3 weeks of strep infection, peaks in 3 to 5 weeks and falls back to insignificant levels in 6 months.
Faecal calprotectin (or fecal calprotectin) is a biochemical measurement of the protein calprotectin in the stool.Elevated faecal calprotectin indicates the migration of neutrophils to the intestinal mucosa, which occurs during intestinal inflammation, including inflammation caused by inflammatory bowel disease.
A 2010 review study by Puren et al. [2] categorizes viral load testing into three types: (1) nucleic acid amplification based tests (NATs or NAATs) commercially available in the United States with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, or on the market in the European Economic Area (EEA) with the CE marking; (2) "Home–brew" or in-house NATs; (3) non-nucleic acid-based test.

Acute hyperbilirubinemia is found in >70% of hepatitis E patients but chronic infection is scarce. [16] The transmission routes of hepatic viruses A and E are oral-faecal while that of hepatic viruses B, C and D are parenteral. [6] [15] [16] In general, conditions that increase risk of contracting hepatitis viruses infections include [3] [17]
