Evaluation of PCR Approaches for Detection of Bartonella bacilliformis in Blood Samples. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 BACKGROUND:The lack of an effective diagnostic tool for Carrion's disease leads to misdiagnosis, wrong treatments and perpetuation of asymptomatic carriers living in endemic areas. Conventional PCR approaches have been reported as a diagnostic technique.
