We used real-time PCR to detect Bartonella henselae DNA in 7.9% (5/63) of blood specimens from seronegative patients in Japan suspected of having cat-scratch disease. The combined use of serologic tests and real-time PCR to analyze blood specimens is recommended for the prompt, noninvasive laboratory diagnosis of cat-scratch disease.
我们使用实时 PCR 检测了来自日本疑似患有猫抓病的血清阴性患者的 63 份血液标本中的亨氏巴尔通体 DNA,结果在 7.9%(5/63)的标本中检测到了。建议联合使用血清学检测和实时 PCR 分析血液标本,以便及时进行非侵入性的实验室诊断猫抓病。
