23 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To report the additional clinical value of real-time Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the detection of Treponema pallidum in aqueous humor. METHODS: A real-time (RT) PCR assay targeting the polymerase 1 gene of Treponema pallidum was performed in aqueous humor samples collected in consecutive patients with ocular syphilis. RESULTS: Five patients presenting with optic neuritis (1), posterior placoid...
