Owen, William E.; Rockwood, Alan L.; Roberts, William L.; Meikle, A. Wayne | Development and performance evaluation of a tandem mass spectrometry assay for 4 adrenal steroids | Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a group of autosomal recessive disorders caused by a deficiency of 1 of 4 enzymes required for the synthesis of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and sex hormones. Analysis of 11-deoxycortisol (11DC), 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP), 17-hydroxypregnenolone (17O... | Congenital adrenal hyperplasia; Adrenal steroids; Tandem mass spectrometry assay | 2006 |

Petti, Cathy A.; Polage, Christopher R. | Assessment of the utility of viral culture of cerebrospinal fluid | Nucleic acid amplification testing is the preferred method to detect enteroviruses and Herpesviridae in cerebrospinal fluid, but clinicians still request viral culture. Review of 22,394 viral cultures of cerebrospinal fluid samples found that <0.1% recovered nonenterovirus, non-Herpesviridae species... | Enterovirus Infections; Herpesviridae Infections; Virus Cultivation | 2006-12-15 |

Pounder, June I.; Voelkerding, Karl V.; Storts, D.; Anderson, Clint M. | Differentiation of species within mycobacterium tuberculosis complex by real-time PCR-based genomic deletion analysis | Differentiation of members within Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) is essential for patient management and infection control. MTC is comprised of M. tuberculosis (Mtb), M. bovis (Mb), M. bovis BCG (vaccine strain; Mbcg), M. africanum (Ma), and M. microti (Mm). Because MTC have highly similar... | MTC; species differentiation; Mycobacterium bovis BCG; Mycobacterium africanum; Mycobacterium microtic; PCR | 2006-01-09 |
