PCR in Diagnosis of Infection: Detection of Bacteria in Cerebrospinal Fluids

1 May 2002

Abstract excerpt

The PCR is the most sensitive of the existing rapid methods to detect microbial pathogens in clinical specimens. In particular, when specific pathogens that are difficult to culture in vitro or require a long cultivation period are expected to be present in specimens, the diagnostic value of PCR is known to be significant. However, the application of PCR to clinical specimens has many potential pitfalls due to...
