A 10-year experience of our automated molecular diagnostic platform that carries out 91 different real-time PCR is described. Progresses and future perspectives in molecular diagnostic microbiology are reviewed: why automation is important; how our platform was implemented; how homemade PCRs were developed; the advantages/disadvantages of homemade PCRs, including the critical aspects of troubleshooting and the need to further reduce the turnaround time for specific samples, at least for defined clinical settings such as emergencies. The future of molecular diagnosis depends on automation, and in a novel perspective, it is time now to fully acknowledge the true contribution of molecular diagnostic and to reconsider the indication for PCR, by also using these tests as first-line assays.

“…Elles sont souvent asymétriques 32 et révélées le plus souvent fortuitement à l'imagerie. Plus rarement une atteinte ganglionnaire médiastinale isolée en l'absence de lésion cutanée est décrite 33. En cas d'atteinte thoracique, le diagnostic repose sur la PCR spécifique effectuée à partir de prélèvements ganglionnaires.…”

Clinical approach to enlarged mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes other than the oncological causesWidespread use of CT-scans leads to increased discovery of mediastinal and hilar lymph node enlargement, a frequent motive for consulting a pulmonologist. The persistence or progression of such lymphadenopathies outside of an oncological context is most often associated with an infectious process or inflammatory disorders. The history will also point to possible occupational or environmental exposure. The radiological characteristics specific to lymphadenopathies and any associated parenchymal lung damage will most often orient the diagnosis. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided techniques allow targeted and real-time sampling of the mediastinum and hilar lymph nodes, representing the first-line investigation before more invasive surgical procedures.

Isolated mediastinal necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenopathy due to cat-scratch disease

Abstract: We report a patient suffering from cat-scratch disease limited to mediastinal lymphadenitis. Although rare, cat-scratch disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenitis, especially when patients were exposed to cats.
