Neurocryptococcosis: diagnosis by PCR method.
Cryptococcus neoformans detection was optimized using PCR technique with the objective of application in the clinical laboratory diagnosis. The amplification area was ITS and 5,6S which encodes the ribosomal RNA (rRNA). A total of 72 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were used, obtained from cases with and without AIDS. The patients had cryptococcal meningitis (n = 56) and meningitis caused by ...
متن کاملrapid diagnosis of neisseria meningitides by pcr method
introduction: the aim of this study was to setup, optimize and introduce a sensitive and specific pcr detection method for identification of neisseria meningitidis dna in clinical samples. material and methods: capsular transport gene a (ctra) was selected as a specific target sequence. this primer pair amplifies 101bp of the target gene. neisseria meningitidis strain: atcc; 13090 and neisseria...
متن کاملDiagnosis of mutations by the PCR double RFLP method (PCR-dRFLP).
The diagnosis of mutations that are responsible for human genetic diseases is important, and several molecular biology techniques based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (1), have been specially developed for this purpose (2-8) . For some of these techniques it is the presence or the absence of a PCR product that constitutes the analytical step, ie proves the presence of the mutation. In order...
متن کاملMolecular diagnosis of Mycoplasma spp. Arthritis by PCR
Background: Arthritis is one of the most common inflammatory diseases worldwide. It is characterized by symptoms such as systemic inflammation and autoantibody production. The molecular mechanisms in pathogenesis of arthritis are not fully understood. Studies show that many microorganisms, including Mycoplasmas, play a role in arthritis. The PCR method is a fast and accurate molecular method fo...
متن کاملRapid diagnosis of leptospirosis by multiplex PCR.
BACKGROUND Traditionally, the most common diagnostic approach used for diagnosing leptospirosis was the demonstration of immune-seroconversion in acute and convalescent patient serum samples. Recently, a variety of molecular techniques, including conventional and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), have been developed for the specific detection of pathogenic bacteria from the genus Lepto...
