MILIARY TUBERCULOSIS WITH NO PULMONARY INVOLVEMENT IN MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES: A CURABLE, YET RARELY DIAGNOSED, DISEASE: CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Miliary tuberculosis with no pulmonary involvement in myelodysplastic syndromes: a curable, yet rarely diagnosed, disease: case report and review of the literature

Abstract Background Although tuberculosis is not uncommon among patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), only a few reports of such patients suffering from miliary tuberculosis (MT) exist.MT often presents as a fever of unknown origin and it is a curable disease, yet fatal if left untreated.Case presentation We report a case of MT with no clin

Analysis of pools of targeted Salmonella deletion mutants identifies novel genes affecting fitness during competitive infection in mice.

Pools of mutants of minimal complexity but maximal coverage of genes of interest facilitate screening for genes under selection in a particular environment.We constructed individual deletion mutants in 1,023 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium genes, including almost all genes found in Salmonella but not in related genera.All mutations were con

Development of an ELISA-based method for testing aflatoxigenicity and aflatoxigenic variability among Aspergillus species in culture

Aflatoxins contaminate foodstuff posing a severe threat to human health because chronic exposure is linked to liver cancer while acute exposure Broccoli Sprouts Extract may cause death.Therefore, it is of interest to reduce the contamination of crops by aflatoxins in the field and post-harvest.Among the current technologies being developed is the d
