Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the creation of rapid antigen-detection tests (RATs) to provide quick and affordable diagnostics for the disease.
- The study focused on the Humasis COVID-19 Ag Test, evaluating its effectiveness compared to more traditional testing methods (RT-PCR) in patients with recent COVID-19 symptoms.
- Findings indicated that while the RAT was effective overall, younger patients had fewer false negatives, highlighting that the test is particularly beneficial in settings with limited access to more complex testing methods.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the presence of Tahyna orthobunyavirus (TAHV) in Croatian patients with neuroinvasive disease (NID) by examining cerebrospinal fluid and urine samples over five transmission seasons from 2017 to 2021.
- - No TAHV RNA was found in the tested samples, but TAHV-neutralizing antibodies were detected in 10.1% of patients, with a notable increase in seropositivity correlated with age.
- - Findings indicate TAHV's presence in Croatia, particularly among individuals living in floodplain areas, though further research is needed to understand its prevalence and clinical implications.
