Use of Polymerase Chain Reaction to Diagnose the Fifth Reported US Case of Autochthonous Transmission ofTrypanosoma cruzi,in Tennessee, 1998

1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

In July 1998, the mother of an 18-month-old boy in rural Tennessee found a triatomine bug in his crib, which she saved because it resembled a bug shown on a television program about insects that prey on mammals. The gut contents of the Triatoma sanguisuga were found, by light microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to be infected with Trypanosoma cruzi; PCR products hybridized with T. cruzi-specific...
