Comparison between Conventional and Real-Time PCR Assays for Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis
The diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a challenging issue and several studies worldwide have evaluated the different tools to reach a diagnostic solution. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has proven to be effective in detecting the genome of Leishmania species in different biological samples. In this study, we compared the conventional PCR and real-time PCR using the Sybr Green sys...
متن کاملComparison of PCR assays for diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Three PCR assays for diagnosing leishmaniasis were compared and validated against parasite cultures and microscopic evaluation of stained tissue smears using 92 specimens from suspected cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Israel and the West Bank. Samples from imported and locally acquired disease were examined. The kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) PCR showed the highest sensitivity (98.7%) of any a...
متن کاملPediatric visceral leishmaniasis diagnosis in Tunisia: comparative study between optimised PCR assays and parasitological methods.
There has been a steady increase of visceral leishmaniasis during the past 20 years in Tunisia. In this study, we assess the value of two optimised PCR versus those of classical methods for the diagnosis of human visceral leishmaniasis. 106 samples were collected from 53 cases of pediatric visceral leishmaniasis. Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples were analysed both by parasitological met...
متن کاملDevelopment of Conventional and Real-Time Quantitative PCR Assays for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Scabies.
Scabies remains the most prevalent, endemic, and neglected ectoparasitic infestation globally and can cause institutional outbreaks. The sensitivity of routine microscopy for demonstration of Sarcoptes scabiei mites or eggs in skin scrapings is only about 50%. Except for three studies using conventional or two-tube nested PCR on a small number of cases, no systematic study has been performed to...
