Diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) coinfection is challenging. Specific diagnosis of VL in HIV-coinfected patients was evaluated by molecular methods in desquamated buccal swab samples, demonstrating 86.3% sensitivity and 98.3% specificity in controls. This test holds significant potential for development as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for VL in HIV-coinfected patients.
诊断人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染合并内脏利什曼病(VL)具有挑战性。通过分子方法对HIV合并感染患者的脱落口腔拭子样本进行VL特异性诊断评估,结果显示在对照组中灵敏度为86.3%,特异性为98.3%。该检测作为HIV合并感染患者VL的非侵入性诊断工具具有很大的开发潜力。
