We investigated the value of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the diagnosis of active tuberculosis in children and evaluated the relationship between PCR results in children with tuberculous infections and mediastinal adenopathies detected by computerized tomography (CT-Scan). This was a contr
The polymerase chain reaction is sensitive and specific in the detection of defined D N A sequences and holds promise for diagnosing the presence of fastidious microorganisms in human infectious diseases. We developed a methodology for nested polymerase chain reaction and hybridization analysis of t
## Abstract A simplified assay for the diagnosis of varicellazoster virus (VZV) infections based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is described. Omitting the procedures for extraction and purification of DNA, the crude vesicle fluid materials were used for PCR. Moreover, hybridization was not
## Objective: To compare the reliability of ligase chain reaction (lcr) to polymerase chain reaction (pcr) in detecting chlamydia trachomatis endocervical infections. ## Methods: We conducted a prospective study of 486 patients at risk for chlamydial infection of the endocervix. we obtained two e
