Consequently‚ leptospirosis is easily mistaken for other febrile illnesses including influenza‚ dengue fever‚ meningitis‚ or hepatitis. Therefore‚ rapid and appropriate laboratory diagnostic tests are needed to aid clinical case identification and to facilitate the implementation of rapid outbreak investigations for optimal treatment and patient management

A Comparative Study between Venipuncture and Fingerstick Methods as Blood Collection Technique for Complete Blood Count In Laboratory Medicine‚ evaluation of Complete Blood Count is essential to determine the patient’s health. Obtaining blood sample is done by different blood collection techniques‚ specifically‚ the venipuncture and the fingerstick method. Venipuncture is achieved by inserting a hypodermic needle to the median cephalic vein to obtain venous blood while pricking the fingertips

The daily news on the television reports show numerous dengue patients‚ most of which are children lying in hospital beds‚ folding beds and even in chairs in government hospitals. Now that the dengue epidemic has subsided‚ another recently monitored disease known as “Chikungunya” starts another new outbreak in Surigao del Sur. Chikungunya is caused by the same Dengue-carrier mosquito Aegis aegypti. According

Before applying any approach to control the dengue vectors‚ it is important to understand the biology (discussed in the section of “Biology of vector mosquitoes) and life cycle of Aedes mosquitoes which enables us to understand their population dynamics and their existence in nature. Life table parameters of St. aegypti provides base-line information on the potential for colonization in the laboratory‚ dengue transmission and control measures (Afrane‚ et al.‚ 2007; Tejerina‚ et al.‚ 2009) and provides

Since the disease shares some clinical signs with dengue fever‚ it can be misdiagnosed in areas where dengue is common. There is no cure for the disease. It is a self-limiting infection and most patients recover fully. No deaths‚ neuro-invasive cases or hemorrhagic cases related to chikungunya infection have been conclusively
