PCR as a tool for intestinal parasite diagnosis is expanding since differentiation between Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar cysts is impossible with microscopy. Since pre-analytical factors influence DNA detection, we evaluated with real-time PCR the influence of storage time and temperature. We demonstrated an improved DNA detection in frozen stool samples.
PCR 作为一种肠道寄生虫诊断工具正在不断发展,因为用显微镜无法区分溶组织内阿米巴和迪斯帕内阿米巴的包囊。由于分析前因素会影响 DNA 的检测,因此我们使用实时 PCR 评估了储存时间和温度的影响。我们证明了冷冻粪便样本中 DNA 检测的改善。
