Determination of Herpetic Keratitis Frequency Using Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Method in Isfahan, Iran
Authors
Abstract:
Herpetic keratitis which is resulted from herpes simplex virus type I, is considered the most common cause of corneal blindness that needs being diagnosed and treated in order to prevent irreversible eye effects. The best method to diagnose it is molecular method which has high sensitivity and exclusivity. The current study was done on 25 eye samples collected from patients referred to the Feyz hospital of Isfahan who were diagnosed with herpetic keratitis disease. After cornea sampling and extracting DNA from eye samples, LAMP-PCR technique was done to search genome of herpes simplex virus type I. Among 25 suspected cases of herpetic keratitis, 5 samples were confirmed to have genome virus of HSV1 and herpetic keratitis frequency was determined by 20%. The results of this investigation showed a relative high frequency of herpetic keratitis in this zone using LAMP-PCR diagnostic method compared with similar studies which indicates high sensitivity of this technique. Therefore, using such rapid, accurate and cheap molecular method is suggested

full textElectric LAMP: Virtual Loop-Mediated Isothermal AMPlification
We present eLAMP, a PERL script, with Tk graphical interface, that electronically simulates Loop-mediated AMPlification (LAMP) allowing users to efficiently test putative LAMP primers on a set of target sequences. eLAMP can match primers to templates using either exact (via builtin PERL regular expressions) or approximate matching (via the tre-agrep library). Performance was tested on 40 whole ...
full textLOOP mediated isothermal AMPlification (LAMP) in diagnosis of neorocryptococcosis
As a result of the importance of quick diagnosis of Neurocryptococcosis in patients, generally, molecular techniques are preferred rather than traditional methods for their rapidity. In this research, we made an effort to design and optimize Loop mediated isothermal AMPlification (LAMP) technique using specific primers for ura5 as the target gene for detection of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cry...

The loop-mediated isothermal amplification method (LAMP) is a recently developed molecular technique that amplifies nucleic acid under isothermal conditions. For malaria diagnosis, 150 blood samples from consecutive febrile malaria patients, and healthy subjects were screened in Thailand. Each sample was diagnosed by LAMP, microscopy and nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR), using nPCR as th...
