Clinical use of molecular methods for Trypanosoma cruzi infection in endemic and non-endemic countries: Benefits, limitations and challenges

Clinical use of molecular methods for Trypanosoma cruzi infection in endemic and non-endemic countries: Benefits, limitations and challenges

Trypanosoma cruzi infection is diagnosed by parasitological, molecular, and serological tests. Molecular methods based on DNA amplification provide a more sensitive alternative to classical parasitological techniques for detecting evidence of T. cruzi parasitemia, and are the preferred tests for con...
