High Efficacy of Ivermectin for Strongyloidiasis Treatment
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2024 Apr 2:tpmd230645. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0645. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInfection with Strongyloides stercoralis is often asymptomatic but can be life-threatening in immunocompromised patients, which can be prevented by ivermectin (IVM) treatment. The efficacy of IVM has been reported to have lessened over time in some regions as a consequence of prolonged use and mass treatment campaigns. Ivermectin has been used in Thailand for more than a decade; therefore, we investigated the efficacy of a single dose (200 μg/kg) of IVM against in asymptomatic strongyloidiasis in northeastern Thailand.

Molecular detection of blood protozoa and identification of black flies of the Simulium varicorne species group (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Thailand
Acta Trop. 2024 Apr 3:107207. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2024.107207. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSpecies of the Simulium varicorne group in Thailand have veterinary significance as vectors of haemosporidian parasites. Accurate identification is, therefore, critical to the study of vectors and parasites. We used morphology and molecular markers to investigate cryptic genetic lineages in samples identified as Simulium chumpornense Takaoka & Kuvangkadilok, 2000. We also tested the efficiency of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) marker for the identification of species in this group. Morphological examina...

Establishing an External Quality Assessment (EQA) Program for Urinalysis in Medical Laboratories of Thailand
Indian J Clin Biochem. 2024 Apr;39(2):271-275. doi: 10.1007/s12291-022-01102-3. Epub 2022 Nov 28.ABSTRACTThailand Association of Clinical Biochemists (TACB) introduced External Quality Assurance schemes (EQAs) for urinalysis (UA) using urine strips in medical laboratories of Thailand. The few available External Quality Assessment (EQA) programs on urinary microalbumin rarely include an evaluation of clinical cases. The aim of the present study was to assess a descriptive analysis of biochemical urinalysis including urine microalbumin in the Thailand laboratory practice. From January 2021 to December 2021, four surveys were...
