Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is the most frequent invasive fungal disease occurring in patients with hematological malignancies. Serum galactomannan (GM) antigen monitoring is thought to be helpful in the diagnosis of IPA. The aim of this study was to determine the role of a GM assay in serum samples for the diagnosis of IPA in patients with hematological disease.

- Recent studies have explored the link between human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) in the development of pityriasis rosea (PR), yielding inconsistent findings due to varying sample types and techniques used.
- In this study, researchers tested tissue and plasma samples from 25 PR patients for HHV-6 and HHV-7 using advanced molecular and serological methods, finding a significant prevalence of HHV-6 and HHV-7 in the samples.
- The results suggest that both HHV-6 and HHV-7 may play a role in PR, recommending the simultaneous collection of diverse biological samples and the use of quantitative real-time PCR for clearer
The aim of this study was to investigate the compounds in the hexane extract of (Savi.) Ten. and to determine the antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities of different extracts.
