Comparison of the polymerase chain reaction with two classical parasitological methods for the diagnosis of Chagas disease in an endemic region of north-eastern Brazil

1 Mar 1996

Abstract excerpt

The sensitivities for Chagas disease diagnosis of haemoculture, xenodiagnosis, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of Trypanosoma cruzi kinetoplast deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) were compared for 101 patients living in an endemic region who were serologically positive for T. cruzi. PCR gave 60 positive results (59.4%), while a haemoculture was positive in 26 cases (25.7%) and xenodiagnosis in 36...
