Comparative Assessment of Two Commercial Real-Time PCR Assays for the Diagnosis of <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> DNA in Serum

Comparative Assessment of Two Commercial Real-Time PCR Assays for the Diagnosis of <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> DNA in Serum

This study was performed to comparably assess two commercial real-time PCR assays for the identification of <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> DNA in serum. A total of 518 Colombian serum samples with high pre-test probability for infections with either <i>T. cruzi</i> or apathogenic &...
