Usefulness of real time PCR to quantify parasite load in serum samples from chronic Chagas disease patients

11 Mar 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Inconclusive results of serological diagnosis in Chagas disease have an important impact on blood banks worldwide, reflecting in the high number of discarded bags or in an increased transmission by blood transfusion. Molecular techniques such as qPCR have been used for diagnosis and to monitor Trypanosoma cruzi load in peripheral blood samples. A promising perspective refers to the possibility of...
