Diagnosis 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 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 کاملA diagnosis of Burkholderia pseudomallei directly in a bronchoalveolar lavage by polymerase chain reaction.
Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Interest in the molecular identification of B. pseudomallei has increased after its classification as a category B agent by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The present article reports a diagnosis of B. pseudomallei directly in a bronchoalveolar lavage by polymerase chain reac...
متن کاملValue of real-time polymerase chain reaction in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for diagnosis of pediatric pulmonary tuberculosis.
According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, about one million children annually develop tuberculosis (TB) worldwide, accounting for about 11% of all TB cases. Pediatric pulmonary TB (PTB) is often not considered a priority by national TB control programs, because limited resources restrict the focus of national TB control programs to only the most infectious sputum smear-positive ca...
متن کاملPrimary A (H1N1) pdm09 Influenza Pneumonia Diagnosed on Reverse Transcription-polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid but not Rapid Tests with Nasopharyngeal Swabs.
A 47-year-old man with a fever was highly suspected of having influenza A infection since his wife and son who lived with him had been diagnosed with influenza A. Although repeated rapid tests with a nasopharyngeal swab showed negative findings, the patient developed bilateral pneumonia and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for A (H1N1) pdm09 virus in the bronchoalveolar lav...
