Article Synopsis
- Accurate measurement of the BCR::ABL1 fusion gene is crucial for managing chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), most commonly found as the p210 variant due to certain mRNA junctions.
- The study analyzed 25 CML samples using two accredited centers with qPCR methods and compared results using advanced techniques like ddPCR, revealing significant differences in measurement accuracy.
- Findings highlight that quantification differences may vary by center, impacting patient follow-up, and suggest that using specific standard curves or absolute quantification methods can mitigate these discrepancies.
Background: Rothia mucilaginosa is a Gram-positive bacterium occurring as a commensal in the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract. Although rarely pathogenic in an immunocompetent host, it can cause severe opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals.
Case Presentation: A 67-year-old white woman had a routine blood analysis before undergoing knee surgery.
