Polymerase chain reaction detection of<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>in human blood samples as a tool for diagnosis and treatment evaluation

1 Apr 1995

Abstract excerpt

Trypanosoma cruzi specific sequences were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction from total blood of human chagasic patients and normal individuals. A 330 bp fragment originating from kinetoplast DNA was specifically detected in most chagasic individuals. We tested the sensitivity and specificity of this method in normal and affected individuals attending the Evandro Chagas Hospital, Rio de Janeiro. The...
