Prospective Value of PCR Amplification and Sequencing for Diagnosis and Typing of Old World Leishmania Infections in an Area of Nonendemicity
1 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
We assessed the prospective value of PCR amplification of a repetitive sequence from Leishmania nuclear DNA and sequencing for the diagnosis and typing of Old World Leishmania infection in an area of nonendemicity. During this 42-month study, 29 of 168 consecutive samples were examined and classified as positive for Leishmania by direct examination and/or in vitro culture. This molecular approach showed excellent...
