Quantitative Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Assay as a New Molecular Tool for Detection and Quantification of Leishmania Parasites in Skin Biopsy Samples
1 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
Currently available methods for the diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) have low sensitivities or are unable to quantify the number of viable parasites. This constitutes a major obstacle for the diagnosis of the disease and for the study of the effectiveness of treatment schedules and urges the development of improved detection methods. In this study, quantitative nucleic acid sequence-based amplification...
