İnsanlarda ilk defa 1970 yılında Kongo Demokratik Cumhuriyeti’nde tespit edilmiştir. Sonrasında Orta ve Batı Afrika’daki ülkelerde görülen bu hastalığın sıklığı tam olarak bilinmemekle birlikte Kongo Demokratik Cumhuriyeti’nde 2005’e kadar yıllık 1000’e yakın olgu bildirilmiştir. Hastalık dönem dönem Afrika kıtasından enfekte hayvanlar ve insanlar aracılığıyla diğer kıtalara yayılmakta ve buralarda küçük küçük salgınlar yapmaktadır.

Genetik bir miras olarak ebeveynlerimizden aldığımız DNA’mızda bizlere ait bireysel özellikleri içeren tüm bilgiler bulunmaktadır. Bu bilgiler kan grubu, boy, kilo gibi bireysel özelliklerimizden, diyabet, kanser, kardiyovasküler hastalıklar gibi yüzlerce farklı duruma yatkınlık yada direnci belirleyen özelliklerle ilişkilidir. DNA’mızdaki bu bilgilerin çevresel faktörlerle etkileşmesi sonucu kişisel özelliklerimiz ve hastalıklar ortaya çıkabilmektedir.

PLAC TEST (Lp- PLA2 Aktivitesi) Kalp Hastalığı Riskinizi Biliyor musunuz ?
PLAC testi; kanda Lp-PLA2 enzim aktivitesini ölçen ve koroner kalp hastalığı riskini tahmin etmek için kullanılan bir belirteçtir.
Molecular methods allow with no room for doubt a rapid and accurate means of identifying microorganisms. Molecular microbiology includes methods of diagnosing bacteria, viruses and parasites on which cultures can not be obtained or if they can these would take much too long.The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method allows for the reproduction of DNA from minute quantities to be found on a sample thereby allowing for identification of the microorganism. DNA based methods allow for identification of the disease factor directly from the sample. These methods thus allow for a disease to be diagnosed rapidly and assist in treatment to be provided as soon as possible. Many tests using quantitative and qualitative analysis methods can be carried out at Acıbadem Labmed Molecular Microbiology Laboratories.Molecular Microbiology
These tests use different methods such as real time PCR, hybrid capture and in-house methods.
Visible electrophoresis imaging and recording is carried out for samples on which in-house methods are used. Results obtained through quantitative or qualitative methods provide physicians the means to track their patients’ treatment and prognosis.
For example, in a patient pre-diagnosed with menengitis, molecular tests for a number of microorganisms which could lead to this condition such as the Herpes simplex virus or tuberculosis can be completed and provide results within 24 hours. Or, for example, when a definite diagnosis of toxoplasma gondii can not be made on an infant whose pregnant mother has undergone all serologic tests, PCR tests may be benefitted from. In this and similar cases, molecular testing assumes a life saving role.
These examples can be multiplied;
These tests may be used to look into the presence of Aspergillus, Candida, or Pneumocystis carini in patients lying in intensive care or the presence of Entamoeba histolytica in abscesses of the brain or liver.
A common point in all molecular microbiology analyses
Positive or negative controls in conjunction with internal controls are implemented for all analyses performed. When new working procedures are to be put into action only those procedures that have been duly validated are used. Measurement reliability is assured with pipette calibrations, test validations as well as interior and exterior controls.

LC-MS/MS systems have become the systems of choice in clinical laboratories due to the fact that their analytic specificity is higher than conventional methods such as the HPLC, specifically in the identification of low molecular weight analytes and in comparison to immunassay methods. Metabolic scans in newborn infants, amino acids, vitamins, steroid hormones, immunosuppresive drug levels, catecholamines and metabolyte analyses are the reason why LC-MS/MS systems are most frequently used by clinical laboratories.
