Comparison of PCR and microscopic methods for detecting Trypanosoma cruzi

1 May 1996

Abstract excerpt

The diagnosis of acute infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan parasite that causes Chagas' disease, is generally made by detecting parasites by microscopic examination of fresh blood. Although highly specific, this approach often lacks sensitivity. Several years ago, PCR assays for the detection of T. cruzi were described, but the sensitivities and specificities of these tests have not yet been defined...
