Is Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) More Useful Than a Conventional PCR for the Clinical Management of Leishmaniasis?

1 Jul 2009

Abstract excerpt

It is currently unknown if the use of a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) adds value to the diagnosis and follow-up prognosis of patients affected by leishmaniasis. We performed a study using a real-time PCR directed against the alpha-polymerase gene and a semiquantitative PCR that target the SSU ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene as control for the diagnosis and quantification of parasites in patients with...
