Comparison of serological and real-time PCR assays to diagnose Bordetella pertussis infection in 2007.
Bacterial culture for diagnosing pertussis infection has high specificity but poor sensitivity and is slow. Highly sensitive real-time PCR assays and single-serum pertussis serology have been developed to overcome these limitations, but there are few data available on the relative sensitivities and specificities of such assays for pertussis diagnosis. Using data on 195 participants (>or=7 years...
متن کاملMolecular detection of pathogenic leptospiral serovars by PCR, based on lipL21 gene
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease with global distribution that caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. Accurate diagnosis for differentiation of leptospirosis from other pyrogenic infections prevailing in the same locality and is imperative for proper treatment. Therefore a molecular diagnostic test with high specificity and sensitivity such as PCR is essential. Gene encodi...
متن کاملAccuracy of polymerase chain reaction assays for diagnosis of feline immunodeficiency virus infection in cats.
OBJECTIVE To determine the sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic accuracy of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays offered by commercial diagnostic laboratories for diagnosis of FIV infection in cats. DESIGN Prospective clinical trial. ANIMALS 124 cats. PROCEDURE Blood was collected from cats that were neither infected with nor vaccinated against FIV, uninfected cats that were...
متن کاملEvaluation of the diagnostic performance of panfungal polymerase chain reaction assay in invasive fungal diseases
Timely diagnosis of invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) is important, as delays in treatment initiation are associated with increased mortality rates. However, early diagnosis of IFDs in immunocompromised patients remains difficult. The conventional diagnostic methods currently used for IFDs are not sufficiently effective. Molecular tests, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays, have ...
متن کاملNovel Biomarkers Aim at Detecting Metastatic Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Breast Cancer
Background: Intra-operative molecular diagnostic assays are currently used for the detection of lymph node metastases. The objective of this study was to find new biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy in the detection of metastatic axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients. Methods: We applied an absolute quantitative real-time RT-PCR to quantitate the expression of CK19, KLK11, and CL...
