Detection of Plasmodium vivax by Nested PCR and Real-Time PCR [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2010 Malaria is endemic in the Cukurova region while it is sporadic in other regions of Turkey. Therefore, the laboratory and clinical diagnosis of malaria is important for the treatment of malaria. In this study, 92 blood samples that were taken from the suspected malaria patients for routine diagnosis in a period of 10 years between 1999 and 2009 were ...

Nested PCR for Diagnosis of Typhoid Fever [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2005 The superiority of the nested PCR employing H 1-d primers over culture or single-dilution Widal (4) should be reevaluated for isolates from unusual sites and from among those coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS. Numerous extraintestinal complications are known with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi infection.
