Real-time polymerase chain reaction detection of Neisseria meningitidis in formalin-fixed tissues from sudden deaths.

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease - 1 Apr 2008

Fernández-Rodríguez Amparo, Alcalá Belén, Alvarez-Lafuente Roberto

Abstract excerpt

Accurate identification of meningococcal sudden deaths is needed to avoid underestimation of the true incidence of the disease. This study analyzed the usefulness of a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol using MGB (3'-minor groove binder) probes to detect Neisseria meningitidis in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from sudden deaths where a meningococcal fulminating infection was suspected....
