Taking for granted the sensitivity of the Quantitative Buffy Coat (QBC) system, as documented in a murine experimental model, we assayed to detect Trypanosoma cruzi in the peripheral blood of 100 patients with Chagas disease in its chronic phase. By means of the method, no positivity occurred, evently as a consequence of small parasitemias, undetectable by this technique as assessed by the cases in consideration.
鉴于定量血沉棕黄层(QBC)系统在小鼠实验模型中已被证明具有敏感性,我们试图检测100例慢性期恰加斯病患者外周血中的克氏锥虫。通过该方法,未出现阳性结果,这可能是由于寄生虫血症水平较低,根据所考虑的病例评估,该技术无法检测到。
