Technical Evaluation of qPCR Multiplex Assays for the Detection of Ixodes ricinus-Borne Pathogens
Background: The extent to which infections with Ixodes ricinus-borne pathogens (TBPs), other than Borrelia burgdorferi s.l.and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), cause disease in humans remains unclear.One of the reasons is that adequate diagnostic modalities are lacking in routine or research settings.Methods: We evaluated the analytical specif
Intracranial Fungal Granulomas Mimicking High Grade Gliomas. A Decisive Role of Squash Cytology (SC): A Report of Two Cases
Intracranial fungal granulomas can be misdiagnosed clinically and radiologically as neoplastic read more lesions.They also rarely occur without any history of immunodeficiency or diabetes.We report two such cases of fungal granulomas that were unsuspected clinically and radiologically but were detected on intraoperative squash cytology (SC) and lat
