Evaluation of a Polymerase Chain Reaction-Based Assay for Diagnosis of Wuchereria bancrofti Infection

1 Jun 1996

Abstract excerpt

To assess the utility of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method for diagnosis of Wuchereria bancrofti infection, blood, plasma, and paraffin-embedded tissue samples were tested using a PCR-based assay that detects a W. bancrofti-specific repetitive DNA sequence. The assay was positive in 100 microL of blood from 40 of 42 microfilaria-positive subjects, the 2 subjects with negative assays having...
