Abstract excerpt

From 1994 to date we have been using the internal transcribed spacers (ITSs) nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to investigate the possibility of diagnosing Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia on non-invasive samples collected from HIV-positive patients with pulmonary involvement. The objectives were: (1) to test the sensitivity, specificity and prognostic value of PCR in diagnosis and follow up of PCP; (2) to...
