Serotipe virus dengue yang beredar terus mengalami perubahan dan berbeda di setiap daerah. Pergeseran serotipe maupun genotipedi dalamnya, mempengaruhi terjadinya wabah dengue di berbagai negara. Perbedaan serotipe diduga bernasab dengan deteksi antigen(Ag) non-structural 1 (NS1), namun belum banyak penelitian yang mendukung hal tersebut. Penelitian potong lintang dikerjakan sejakFebruari-Agustus 2016 dan didapatkan 60 subjek infeksi virus dengue (IVD) dan 25 non-IVD. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus denguediperiksa di semua subjek menggunakan Simplexa Dengue Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)termasuk identifikasi serotipe virus dengue dan pemeriksaan NS1 menggunakan uji cepat NS1 Panbio. Perbedaan perbandingan variabelkategorikal dianalisis dengan uji Fisher Exact. Kenasaban antara serotipe dengan deteksi Ag NS1 dianalisis dengan Chi-Kuadrat. RNAvirus dengue terdeteksi di 43 dari 60 subjek IVD (71,7%). Serotipe terbanyak adalah DENV-3 (62,8%). Pergeseran dominasi serotipetelah terjadi di Surabaya, sebelumnya dari DENV-2 ke DENV-1 dan sekarang DENV-3, kemungkinan akibat mobilitas pejamu, transporvirus dan faktor geografis. Kepekaan uji cepat NS1 75% dan kekhasan 100%. Persentase deteksi NS1 antar serotipe berbeda bermakna(p=0,002). Deteksi NS1 lebih rendah pada DENV-1 dibandingkan DENV-2 (p=0,007) ataupun DENV-3 (p=0,003). Serotipe virusdengue bernasab dengan deteksi NS1 (p=0,005). Ciri serotipe maupun genotipe virus dengue kemungkinan mempengaruhi sekresiNS1. Telah terjadi pergeseran serotipe virus dengue di pasien IVD di Surabaya sehingga diperlukan surveillance berkesinambunganuntuk memperkirakan terjadinya wabah. Serotipe bernasab dengan deteksi NS1. Salah satu penyebab hasil negatif palsu NS1 adalahperbedaan serotipe.

AbstractNowadays there is an ongoing acute respiratory outbreak caused by the novel highly contagious coronavirus (COVID-19). The diagnostic protocol is based on quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and chests CT scan, with uncertain accuracy. This meta-analysis study determines the diagnostic value of an initial chest CT scan in patients with COVID-19 infection in comparison with RT-PCR. Three main databases; PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, and EMBASE were systematically searched for all published literature from January 1st, 2019, to the 21st May 2020 with the keywords "COVID19 virus", "2019 novel coronavirus", "Wuhan coronavirus", "2019-nCoV", "X-Ray Computed Tomography", "Polymerase Chain Reaction", "Reverse Transcriptase PCR", and "PCR Reverse Transcriptase". All relevant case-series, cross-sectional, and cohort studies were selected. Data extraction and analysis were performed using STATA v.14.0SE (College Station, TX, USA) and RevMan 5. Among 1022 articles, 60 studies were eligible for totalizing 5744 patients. The overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of chest CT scan compared to RT-PCR were 87% (95% CI 85–90%), 46% (95% CI 29–63%), 69% (95% CI 56–72%), and 89% (95% CI 82–96%), respectively. It is important to rely on the repeated RT-PCR three times to give 99% accuracy, especially in negative samples. Regarding the overall diagnostic sensitivity of 87% for chest CT, the RT-PCR testing is essential and should be repeated to escape misdiagnosis.

The <em>Dengue virus</em> is the main arbovirus that affects man in terms of morbidity and mortality. The detection of the virus is very important for epidemiological surveillance, so here we propose to standardize and compare the immunodot blot (IDB) and multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (M-RT-PCR) techniques to detect and characterize the dengue virus (DENV) serotypes in samples of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> larvae. Thus, the IDB and M-RT-PCR techniques were standardized using macerated samples of larvae collected in nature. The use of monoclonal antibodies in IDB has not shown great results, but DENV detection through this method was possible using polyclonal antibodies. The distinction of serotypes 1, 2 and 3 was carried out by M-RT-PCR.

As concerns over the global spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 have heightened, more countries are faced with increased surveillance efforts and incident response planning for handling a potential outbreak. The incorporation of molecular techniques in most diagnostic laboratories has enabled fast and efficient testing of many agents of concern, including avian influenza. However, the need for high-throughput testing remains. In this study, the use of a 384–well format for high-throughput real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR) testing for avian influenza is described. The analytical sensitivity of a real-time RT-PCR assay for avian influenza virus matrix gene with the use of both 96– and 384–well assay formats and serial dilutions of transcribed control RNA were comparable, resulting in similar limits of detection. Of 28 hunter-collected cloacal swabs that were positive by virus isolation, 26 (92.9%) and 27 (96.4%) were positive in the 96– and 384–well assays, respectively; of the 340 hunter-collected swabs that were negative by virus isolation, 45 (13.2%) and 23 (6.8%) were positive in the 96– and 384–well assays, respectively. The data presented herein supports the utility of the 384–well format in the event of an avian influenza outbreak for high-throughput real-time RT-PCR testing.

Abstract The MLL gene involved in 11q23 translocations found in the majority of infantile leukemias and some secondary leukemias makes fusion transcripts with genes such as LTG4 (chromosome 4), LTG9 (chromosome 9), and LTG19 (chromosome 19) as a result of reciprocal translocation. We have examined 25 cases of leukemias with 11q23 abnormalities by Southern blot analysis and the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Using various primer pairs, chimeric mRNAs could be amplified in 6 of 7 leukemias with t(4;11), 6 of 8 leukemias with t(9;11) including secondary leukemia, 8 of 9 leukemias with t(11;19), and 1 with a deletion at 11q23. The chimeric mRNAs were heterogeneous and differential usage of the MLL exons was found, irrespective of the partner chromosomes. Sensitivity studies showed that a single clone with chimeric mRNA in 10(4) to 10(5) cells could be detected. These findings show that the present RT-PCR settings provide a rapid, accurate, and sensitive tool for diagnosing leukemias with 11q23 translocations and for monitoring response to therapy in these patients.

PURPOSE: Detection of occult metastasis before the development of clinical disease could allow more accurate staging, appropriate follow-up procedures, and adjuvant therapies in patients with malignant melanoma (MM). The sentinel lymph node (SLN) has been proposed as a reliable predictor of metastatic disease in the lymphatic basin draining the primary melanoma. In this study, we screened both paraffin-embedded SLNs and peripheral-blood (PB) samples from MM patients at various stage of disease using a multimarker reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. The prognostic significance of the presence of PCR-positive markers was also evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Total RNA was obtained from paraffin-embedded SLN sections and PB samples of 75 MM patients. RT-PCR was performed using tyrosinase and MelanA/MART1 as melanoma-associated markers. Radiolabeled PCR products were analyzed on denaturing polyacrylamide gels. RESULTS: Good sensitivity of the RT-PCR assay on archival tissues was demonstrated after comparison of RT-PCR results on frozen and paraffin-embedded SLNs from 16 MM patients. Significant correlation between the disease stage and marker expression in both PB and SLN samples was observed; the highest value was for patients who were positive for both markers in SLN (P = .006). Progression of disease was significantly associated with the total number of PCR-positive markers in both PB (P = .034) and SLN (P = .001) samples. CONCLUSION: Although sensitivity is lowered by the use of paraffin-embedded specimens, our data indicate that RT-PCR analysis of serial sections from archival SLNs may be helpful in improving detection of occult micrometastases, thus improving staging of patients with melanoma.
