Misuse of PCR assay for diagnosis of mollusc protistan infections.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays are useful tools for pathogen surveillance, but they are only proxy indications of pathogen presence in that they detect a DNA sequence. To be useful for detection of actual infections, PCR assays must be thoroughly tested for sensitivity and specificity, and ultimately validated against a technique, typically histology, which allows visualization of the p...
متن کاملPCR assay for diagnosis of human brucellosis.
We have read with interest the recent article by Morata et al. reporting their study of two of the possible factors which can interfere with specific DNA amplification in a peripheralblood PCR assay used for the diagnosis of human brucellosis (2). The study deals with the optimization of a method described in a previous work by these authors (4), in which they report a sensitivity of 100% and a...
متن کاملA real time PCR assay on blood for diagnosis of invasive candidiasis in immunocompromised patient
Background and Purpose: Invasive candidiasis (IC) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematologic disorders and bone marrow transplant recipients. Rapid, specific and sensitive test for the timely accuracy in immunocompromised patients to reduce mortality rates and prevent IC progress is necessary. We established a real-time PCR assay on blood for the diagnosis an...
متن کاملUniversal Single-Probe RT-PCR Assay for Diagnosis of Dengue Virus Infections
BACKGROUND Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has become more prevalent in the last few decades. Most patients are viremic when they present with symptoms, and early diagnosis of dengue is important in preventing severe clinical complications associated with this disease and also represents a key factor in differential diagnosis. Here, we designed and validated a hydrolysis-probe-bas...
