J Med Case Reports 3:113. 2009..We describe the case of a patient with HIV in whom a high level of HHV-8 replication was detected and who contracted an opportunistic disease other than multicentric Castleman's disease or Kaposi's sarcoma...- Alpha 1-antitrypsin retention in an ectopic liverMatthias Dettmer
Cantonal Institute of Pathology, Liestal, Switzerland
Diagn Pathol 6:16. 2011..Finally, such a finding should prompt the managing clinician to exclude systemic alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in the patient through further appropriate tests... - Usefulness of molecular biology performed with formaldehyde-fixed paraffin embedded tissue for the diagnosis of combined pulmonary invasive mucormycosis and aspergillosis in an immunocompromised patientVeronique Hofman
Laboratory of Clinical and Experimental Pathology, Louis Pasteur Hospital, 30 Avenue de la Voie Romaine, Nice, France
Diagn Pathol 5:1. 2010..In this regard, it shows that PCR on selected paraffin blocks is a very powerful method for making or confirming the association of different filamentous mycoses and that this method should be made available to pathology laboratories... - HER2 gene status in primary breast cancers and matched distant metastasesCoya Tapia

Geneva University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland
AIDS 22:1019-28. 2008..While many patients do well on highly active antiretroviral therapy, others have progressive disease and need chemotherapy.
