Detection of Sporothrix schenckii in Clinical Samples by a Nested PCR Assay
1 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Cutaneous sporotrichosis is a chronic granulomatous fungal infection caused by Sporothrix schenckii with worldwide distribution. Its traditional diagnosis is time-consuming and difficult to differentiate from that of a clinical sporotrichoid lesion caused by various pathogens. In this study, a nested PCR assay for the detection of S. schenckii was evaluated by using a sequence of 18S rRNA gene as a target. For...
