Are white matter hyperintensities associated with neuroborreliosis? The answer is twofold
Lindland, Elisabeth Margrete Stokke; Røvang, Martin Soria; Solheim, Anne Marit; Andreassen, Silje; Skarstein, Ingerid; Dareez, Nazeer; MacIntosh, Bradley J.; Eikeland, Randi; Ljøstad, Unn; Mygland, Åse; Bos, Steffan D.; Ulvestad, Elling; Reiso, Harald; Lorentzen, Åslaug R.; Harbo, Hanne F.; Bjørnerud, Atle; Beyer, Mona K. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Purpose Many consider white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) to be important imaging findings in neuroborreliosis. However, evidence regarding association with WMHs is of low quality. The objective was to investigate WMHs ... -
Diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis using the MPT64 antigen detection test in a high-income low tuberculosis prevalence setting
Hoel, Ida Marie; Sviland, Lisbeth; Syre, Heidi; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Skarstein, Ingerid; Jebsen, Peter Wilhelm; Jørstad, Melissa Davidsen; Wiker, Harald G; Mustafa, Tehmina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) poses diagnostic challenges due to the paucibacillary nature of the disease. The immunochemistry-based MPT64 antigen detection test (MPT64 test) has shown promising results ... -

In this study, we wanted to ... -
Xpert MTB/RIF ultra for rapid diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a high‑income low‑tuberculosis prevalence setting
Hoel, Ida Marie; Syre, Heidi; Skarstein, Ingerid; Mustafa, Tehmina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is often challenging due to paucibacillary nature of the disease. Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Ultra) has been developed to improve detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex ...
