Doença de Chagas crônica: do xenodiagnóstico e hemocultura à reação em cadeia da polimerase

1 Feb 2003

Abstract excerpt

Although there has been an improvement in the diagnosis of chronic Chagas' disease, the low sensitivity of indirect parasitological tests is a drawback to its application in diagnosis and post-therapeutic control. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has limited use in routine diagnosis due to the need of specific laboratory facilities, common DNA cross-contamination, and high costs. At the same time, the high...
