Utility of Real-time PCR for the detection of<i>Paracoccidioides brasiliensis</i>DNA in the diagnosis of imported paracoccidioidomycosis
1 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
An increase in immigration from endemic regions has resulted in a number of cases of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) being imported into Spain. A molecular diagnostic technique based on real-time PCR was developed for the detection of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis DNA in both culture and patients' clinical samples. A Molecular Beacon probe was used, labelled with FAM and directed at the ITS1 region of ribosomic DNA....
