Differential Impairment of Interferon-γ Responses in Two Cases of Pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease by William Rae, Yifang Gao, Efrem Eren, Rainer Döffinger, Ben Marshall, Anthony P. Williams

“…These cases show that cellular IFN-γ responses may be defective in a proportion of patient suffering PNTM disease and that when assessing responses, the stimulant used in the testing is important to delineate defective cell populations. Impaired IFN-γ responses to IL-12 + BCG seem to be a poor prognostic indicator in PNTM disease and in these cases were not improved by adjuvant IFN-γ.…”

Canadian Public Health Laboratory Network laboratory Guidelines for the Use of Point-of-Care Tests for the Diagnosis of Syphilis in Canada by Ameeta E Singh, Max A Chernesky, Muhammad Morshed, Tom Wong

“…The majority of commercially available tests use treponemal antigens and the presence of antibodies does not distinguish between current and past infection, which may lead to unnecessary antibiotic use and stigmatization of having a current STI. In hard-to-reach populations, the benefits may outweigh the risks. Available studies show reasonable performance of POCT with median sensitivity of 86%, specificity of 99% and positive predictive values >80% when prevalence was >0.3%. …”
