RAPID DETECTION OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS IN CLINICAL SPECIMENS BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
We investigated the use of DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (peR) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 300 patients who were suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis and compared the results with culture results which were performed in parallel with PCR. Two-thirds of each sample was processed for smear and culture by standard methods and one-third was prepared fo...
متن کاملa comparative analysis of routine techniques: reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) and five cell lines for detection of enteroviruses in stool specimens
background and objectives : each year, enteroviruses infect millions of people and cause different diseases. the agents are usually detected using cell culture. rd (rhabdomyosarcoma) and l20b (l cells) are among the recommended cells by the world health organisation (who) for this purpose. even though cell culture is the most common method used in diagnosing enteroviruses in stool specimens, th...
متن کاملReverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR).
Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has become a well-established and powerful molecular technique for studying ribonucleic acids. It is used in medical diagnostics for detecting viral RNA, in hematology and oncology for detecting chimeric transcripts of rearranged genes (1), and in the broad area of research applications in gene expression studies. Since its introduction (...
متن کاملDiagnosis of dengue by using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
A rapid identification of dengue viruses from clinical samples by using a nested reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) procedure was carried out for diagnostic and epidemiological purposes. RT-PCR identified DEN-1 and DEN-2 viruses in 41% (41/100) of previously confirmed cases and provided an accurate confirmation of DHF in four fatal cases. RT-PCR was also useful for detecti...
متن کاملNested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for the detection of rubella virus in clinical specimens.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Rubella virus (RV) is one of the leading causes of childhood blindness in India. In this study we applied an optimized nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (nRT-PCR) to detect RV in clinical specimens. METHODS nRT-PCR was optimized using total RNA extracted from standard strain of RV using nested sets of primers specific for E1 open reading frame. nRT-...
