Multiple Sclerosis

The topic is accompanied by a new resource that compiles laboratory testing requirements for all U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved injectable, oral, and infusion treatments for MS.
Minimal Residual Disease
Minimal residual disease (MRD) testing has important implications for prognosis and treatment decision-making in hematologic malignancies. The new ARUP Consult Minimal Residual Disease Testing topic discusses the testing methods used to assess MRD and the malignancies for which MRD is commonly assessed.
Mumps Virus
Mumps is an acute, contagious disease generally characterized by swelling of the parotid gland. Laboratory testing is required to confirm a mumps diagnosis. The newly rewritten ARUP Consult Mumps Virus topic details the appropriate testing for optimal diagnostic accuracy.
