Prenatal diagnosis of in utero fetal gastrointestinal bleeding.
A case of prenatal gastrointestinal bleeding is presented. Abnormal echogenic amniotic fluid was detected by routine ultrasound during the third trimester of a normal pregnancy. The diagnosis and postnatal implications of antenatal hemorrhage are discussed, with a review of the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first case to be diagnosed in utero and resulting in preterm delivery.
Diagnosis of malaria in non-endemic countries by the ParaSight-F test.
QBC, examination of thin blood smears, and Parasight-F were performed for every case of malaria suspected between May 1997 and December 1998. Data from 310 patients were reported. Fifty had malaria infection diagnosed by QBC and thin blood film, among whom 39 had Plasmodium falciparum infection. Three of these 39 were negative with the Parasight-F test. Eleven patients had a positive ParaSight-F test but microscopic diagnosis methods were negative. Interpretation of these 11 positive ParaSight-F results is proposed to depend on clinical criteria.
