dependent on prevalence of disease in a population. (cdc.gov)
Force screening for HCV is not currently performed during U.S. Air Force (USAF) Basic Military Training (BMT) although screening is completed for other viral infections (including HIV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B). As a result, the true prevalence of chronic HCV infection cannot be ascertained in the basic trainee population. (health.mil)
However, the prevalence can be estimated based on the number of HCV infections confirmed following positive screening during trainee blood donations. (health.mil)
5,14 That prevalence of this infection increases with age is possibly due to a number of factors: the increasing age of the population, increasing number of patients on renal replacement therapy, increasing number of patients with immunosuppressive medications and increasing rates of bacteremia due to intravascular devices and other forms of instrumentation. (wheelessonline.com)

Researchers have developed techniques to detect Lyme disease bacteria weeks sooner than current tests, allowing patients to start treatment earlier. (outbreaknewstoday.com)
The new techniques can detect an active infection with the Lyme bacteria faster than the three weeks it takes for the current indirect antibody-based tests, which have been a standard since 1994. (outbreaknewstoday.com)
The techniques detect DNA or protein from the Lyme disease bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. (outbreaknewstoday.com)
These direct tests are needed because you can get Lyme disease more than once, features are often non-diagnostic and the current standard FDA-approved tests cannot distinguish an active, ongoing infection from a past cured one," said lead author Steven Schutzer, a physician-scientist at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. (outbreaknewstoday.com)
The problem is worsening because Lyme disease has increased in numbers to 300,000 per year in the United States and is spreading across the country and world. (outbreaknewstoday.com)
Lyme disease signs frequently, but not always, include a red ring or bull's eye skin rash. (outbreaknewstoday.com)
The only FDA-approved Lyme disease tests rely on detecting antibodies that the body's immune system makes in response to the disease. (outbreaknewstoday.com)
It will not be surprising to see direct tests for Lyme disease join the growing list of FDA-approved direct tests for other bacterial, fungal and viral infections that include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Candida, influenza, HIV, herpes and hepatitis, among others. (outbreaknewstoday.com)
