Symptoms and Immune Markers in Plasmodium/Dengue Virus Co-infection Compared with Mono-infection with Either in Peru
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
BACKGROUND: Malaria and dengue are two of the most common vector-borne diseases in the world, but co-infection is rarely described, and immunologic comparisons of co-infection with mono-infection are lacking. METHODOLOGY ...
Immunohistochemical expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in oral nevi and melanoma
(Wiley, 2015)
