Abstract excerpt

The aim of the study presented here was to evaluate the use of PCR for improving the diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection in immunocompromised hosts. Three hundred thirty-two bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples were analyzed by real-time PCR targeting a 529 bp element of T. gondii. In positive samples, the genotype of the parasite was determined by sequence analysis of the GRA6 gene. Positive results...
