Molecular diagnosis of leishmaniasis

Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2003
This review describes the worldwide situation of visceral and tegumentary leishmaniasis with an emphasis on diagnosis, including methods for the detection of antibodies, antigens, parasite DNA and of skin testing. The advantages and problems of each method are discussed and the need for a rapid, sensitive and low-cost diagnostic method for use in field

Molecular Diagnosis of Myopathies

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2011
Neuromuscular diseases (NMD) constitute a group of phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous disorders, characterized by (progressive) weakness and atrophy of proximal and/or distal muscles. The objective of molecular testing is to confirm the pathogenicity of a relevant sequence variation by correlating an individual's phenotype with what is ...

Molecular Diagnosis of Dengue

2021
Several protocols for genomic amplification using reverse transcription followed by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), important in the identification of the infecting serotype, have been used in the rapid diagnosis of Dengue Virus (DENV) infections. The qualitative protocol described by Lanciotti et al.

Molecular diagnosis of lymphoma

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1996
The biologic and clinical heterogeneity of lymphomas represents the major obstacle to their diagnosis. Because histologic analysis, which is the initial diagnostic approach, has been demonstrated to be insufficient in the definition of certain types of lymphomas, molecular and immunologic techniques have been increasingly applied to obtain a precise ...

Advances in molecular diagnosis

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996
Approaches to the diagnosis of genetic disease using the tools of molecular genetics are being developed at a rapid pace as efforts to map the human genome progress. Technical challenges remain, however, in devising approaches to permit the wide diversity of pathogenic mutations to be identified in an efficient manner.
