Diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis by polymerase chain reaction.
In a cohort of 12 consecutive neonates, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) established the diagnosis of 5 of 6 cases of congenital toxoplasmosis and did so earlier than serologic methods. We validated that PCR using neonatal peripheral blood is a sensitive, rapid, and cost-effective method to affirm the diagnosis of previously undiagnosed congenital toxoplasmosis.

متن کاملChronic Helicobacter cinaedi cellulitis diagnosed by microbial polymerase chain reaction
PCR: polymerase chain reaction TMP-SMX: trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole XLA: X-linked agammaglobulinemia INTRODUCTION Helicobacter cinaedi is an unusual cause of cellulitis in immunocompromised patients. The organism is fastidious, and blood cultures are often negative, making the diagnosis challenging, especially in those without systemic signs. We report a case of chronic H cinaedi cellulitis i...
متن کاملInvasive pulmonary aspergillosis diagnosed early by polymerase chain reaction assay.
We compared the usefulness of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the early diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis with the serodiagnosis of sufficient concentrations of galactomannan using the same serum samples. A patient was treated with prednisolone for the management of hepatitis. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest showed the nodular shadow with a cavity containing a...
