Comparison of PCR and Microscopy for Detection of <i>Cryptosporidium parvum</i> in Human Fecal Specimens: Clinical Trial

1 Apr 1998

Abstract excerpt

PCR technology offers alternatives to conventional diagnosis of Cryptosporidium for both clinical and environmental samples. We compared microscopic examination by a conventional acid-fast staining procedure with a recently developed PCR test that can not only detect Cryptosporidium but is also able to differentiate between what appear to be host-adapted genotypes of the parasite. Examinations were performed on...
