Validation and Clinical Application of a Molecular Method for Identification of Histoplasma capsulatum in Human Specimens in Colombia, South America
26 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
The conventional means of diagnosis of histoplasmosis presents difficulties because of the delay to the time that the diagnosis is made, indicating the need for the implementation of molecular assays. We evaluated 146 clinical samples from 135 patients suspected of having histoplasmosis using a previously reported nested PCR assay for the Histoplasma capsulatum-specific 100-kDa protein (the Hc100 PCR). In order...
