Polymerase chain reaction with two molecular targets in mucosal leishmaniasis' diagnosis: a validation study

Polymerase chain reaction with two molecular targets in mucosal leishmaniasis' diagnosis: a validation study

We validated the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a composite reference standard in 61 patients clinically suspected of having mucosal leishmaniasis, 36 of which were cases and 25 were non-cases according to this reference standard. Patient classification and test application were carried out in...
