Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay for the Detection and Identification ofMycobacterium lepraein Patients in the United States

1 May 1998

Abstract excerpt

The differentiation of leprosy from other cutaneous granulomatous diseases is routinely based on characteristic histopathologic features and the demonstration of Mycobacterium leprae by acid-fast staining. Increased ascertainment of other mycobacterial infections in the skin has made this task more difficult, but the distinction remains fundamental for the selection of appropriate treatment. Experience with...
