Detection and Identification ofLeishmaniaSpecies from Clinical Specimens by Using a Real-Time PCR Assay and Sequencing of the CytochromebGene
3 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Visceral and cutaneous leishmaniases are heterogenous entities. The Leishmania species that a given patient harbors usually cannot be determined clinically, and this identification is essential to prescribe the best species-specific therapeutic regimen. Our diagnosis procedure includes a real-time PCR assay targeted at the 18S rRNA gene, which detects all Leishmania species but which is not specific for a given...
