The discrimination of Leishmania species from patient samples has epidemiological and clinical relevance. In this study, different gene target PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) protocols were evaluated for their robustness as Leishmania species discriminators in 61 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis. We modified the hsp70-PCR-RFLP protocol and found it to be the most reliable protocol for species identification.
从患者样本中鉴别利什曼原虫物种具有流行病学和临床意义。在本研究中,评估了不同基因靶点的聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)方案作为利什曼原虫物种鉴别方法在61例皮肤利什曼病患者中的稳健性。我们对热休克蛋白70(hsp70)-PCR-RFLP方案进行了改进,发现它是最可靠的物种鉴定方案。
