Detection of Plasmodium ovale by use of a nested PCR assay with a novel Plasmodium ovale primer set was superior to detection of Plasmodium ovale by real-time PCR assays. Nested PCR was also better at detecting P. malariae. The detection of P. ovale in many patients first admitted >2 months following their return to Italy indicated that P. ovale relapses are common.
使用带有新型卵形疟原虫引物组的巢式PCR检测法检测卵形疟原虫,比实时PCR检测法检测卵形疟原虫更具优势。巢式PCR在检测三日疟原虫方面也表现更佳。许多首次在返回意大利2个月后才入院的患者中检测到卵形疟原虫,这表明卵形疟原虫复发很常见。
