The Molecular Diagnosis of Lymphogranuloma Venereum: Evaluation of a Real-Time Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Test Using Rectal and Urethral Specimens
7 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
In Brief Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the use of a real-time multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) assay to differentiate between trachoma and lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) biovars of Chlamydia trachomatis and to validate its performance with the conventional genotyping method. Study: Swab specimens from 115 patients with anorectal symptoms or syndromes associated with LGV were...
