Field Evaluation of the New Rapid NG-Test® Sars-CoV-2 Ag for Diagnosis of Covid-19 in the Emergency Department of an Academic Referral Hospital
Background As the COVID-19 pandemic resurges affecting large numbers of patients, rapid, and accurate diagnosis using point-of-care tests is very important. Objectives To evaluate the NG-Test ® SARS-CoV-2 Ag (NG-Test) immunoassay for qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen in nasopharyngeal (NP) and oropharyngeal (OP) samples compared with RT-PCR, in patients attending the Emergencies of an academic referral hospital. Methods All adult ambula…
Gastrointestinal Carriage of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci and Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in an Endemic Setting
Background: Gastrointestinal carriage of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CRGN) constitutes a major public health concern as it may be followed by clinical infection development or lead to intra-hospital dissemination. Detection of carriers and implementation of infection control measures are essential in every hospital. In this study we determined the point prevalence of VRE and CRGN in the …
Hepatitis B Virus Vaccination Coverage in Medical, Nursing, and Paramedical Students
Students of health professions are at high risk of hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection during their clinical training. The aim of this cross-sectional, multi-centered study was to investigate the HBV vaccination coverage in Greek medical, nursing, and paramedical students, to look into their attitudes towards the importance of vaccines and to reveal reasons associated with not being vaccinated. A self-completed, anonymous questionnaire was distribu…
