Diagnostic evaluation of the BD Affirm™ VPIII assay as a point-of-care test for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis and candidiasis in a population of pregnant women from South Africa.
(2020)OBJECTIVE: Untreated Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and Bacterial vaginosis (BV) pose a serious health risk to mother and child. Limited data exist on the use of the BD Affirm VPIII assay as a point-of-care test. ... -
Evaluation of the Alere Afinion™ AS100 for measuring the levels of C-Reactive Protein in an aged population.
(2020)Introduction The Alere Afinion™ AS100 analyser is a compact bench-top, multi-assay, point-of-care (POC) analyser that provides valuable near patient testing at the point of care. It utilises the latest technology to measure ... -
Genetic diversity of Gardnerella vaginalis in pregnant women diagnosed with intermediate and positive bacterial vaginosis.
(2019)Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the main cause of abnormal vaginal discharge in women of reproductive age. Gardnerella vaginalis, has been detected in almost all women with BV. However, there is limited information on the ... -
Genotyping of gardnerella vaginalis from pregnant women in Durban by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis.
(2020)Gardnerella vaginalis is one of the most frequently isolated microorganisms associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV). However, limited information concerning the genetic diversity of G. vaginalis isolated from BV positive ... -
Genotyping of trichomonas vaginalis in antenatal women from eThekwini.
(2020)Trichomonas vaginalis is the causative agent of trichomoniasis. The genetic characterisation of T. vaginalis isolates reveals significant genetic diversity in this organism. Data on the prevalence of different genotypes ... -
Identification of mutations in genes associated with metronidazole resistance and susceptibility in Trichomonas vaginalis.
(2021)Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common non-viral, sexually transmitted pathogen worldwide. Although, metronidazole cure rates are high for T. vaginalis infection, resistance has been reported. Mutations in the nitroreductase ... -
Investigating the prevalence of vaginitis pathogens in HIV infected and uninfected pregnant women In Durban, South Africa.
(2020)BACKGROUND: Vaginitis in pregnancy significantly contributes to obstetric complications such as preterm labor. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is thought to increase risk of acquiring vaginitis in pregnancy ... -
Neuro-immunological investigation of auto-immune thyroid factors in bipolar disease.
(2017)Introduction: The co-incidence of thyroid auto-immunity and neuro-psychiatric disorders is well-documented. However, the prevailing school of thought implicating auto-immune thyroid disease (AITD) in bipolar disorder is ... -
A novel study to detect and quantify microorganisms associated with bacterial vaginosis from urine samples.
(2019)Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal condition found in women of reproductive age. The lack of published data on the detection of BV-associated pathogens from urine, a non-invasive sample, lends novelty to ...
