Diagnosis of Carrion’s Disease by Direct Blood PCR in Thin Blood Smear Negative Samples
Bartonella bacilliformis is the etiologic agent of Carrion's disease. This disease has two well established phases, the most relevant being the so called Oroya Fever, in which B. bacilliformis infect the erythrocytes resulting in severe anemia and transient immunosuppression, with a high lethality in the absence of adequate antibiotic treatment. The presence of B. bacilliformis was studied in 1...

background: trichomoniasis is an extremely common sexually transmitted infection (sti) worldwide and is associated with important public health problems, including amplification of hiv transmission. this disease is in forms of symptomatic and asymptomatic in women and may depend on host as well as parasite variables. most of the studies reported from females are based on examination of vagina...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Staphylococcal Catheter-Related Bacteraemia in Direct Blood Samples by Real-Time PCR
Catheter-related bacteremia (CRB) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients, being staphylococci the main etiologic agents. The objective of this study was to assess the use of a PCR-based assay for detection of staphylococci directly from blood obtained through the catheter to diagnose CRB caused by these microorganisms and to perform a cost-effectiveness ana...

متن کاملComparison of microscopy and blood-PCR for the diagnosis of clinical Johne’s disease in domestic ruminants
Microscopy as “field based test” was compared with IS900 blood PCR for the diagnosis and estimationof prevalence of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) in domestic livestock withclinical Johne’s disease (JD). Of 252 animals screened, 39.3 and 13.1% were positive by faecal microscopyand blood PCR, respectively. Proportional agreement between “microscopy” and blood PCR was subst...
