Zou ook fijn zijn als we in de ziekenhuissetting een kostprijsvergoeding zouden krijgen om de virussen van opgenomen flu+ patiënten te typeren. Nu doen we dat alleen buiten de seizoenspiek om en tijdens de seizoenspiek gaan er maar 5 random samples per week naar de NIC. Dat kan beter…

Hi Erik, could I be added to the feed? My orcid is

The approach was inspired by previous publications for Ebola virus by Anders Fomgaard et al., but without manual addition of MagnaPure buffer to blood collection tubes. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...).
Why: Even with low VHF suspicion, BSL-3 + full PPE is standard for handling whole blood to perform blood smears. Lysing at blood collection cuts exposure risk to staff and allows LAMP dx at BSL-2. Practical, scalable, and deployable—no smears, no suits, no delay.
When: in critically ill returning travelers where malaria is likely, but VHF can't be completely excluded. Just to be clear: not intended/validated for use in confirmed or high-probability VHF cases!
🧪New paper out! Together with parasitologists from AmsterdamUMC and Rijnstate hospital we tested a faster & safer way to diagnose malaria when VHFs can't be completely ruled out using Zymo tubes + LAMP -> no more need for full BSL-3 gear. Read more: malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
