Sonia S. Francolino, +7 more
- 01 Jan 2003 -

Journal ArticleDOI

Isolamento de amostras do Trypanosoma cruzi por xenodiagnóstico e hemocultura de pacientes na fase crônica da doença de Chagas

Elisabeth Bronfen, +5 more
- 01 Jun 1989 - 
TL;DR: It was discussed the parasitological comprovation difficulties in chronic chagasic patients, the value of the simultaneous utilization of different triatomine species in xenodiagnosis and the hemoculture, in a favorable positive association to the sensistivity increase in the diagnosis' disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of polymerase chain reaction with other laboratory methods for the diagnosis of American cutaneous leishmaniasis: diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis by polymerase chain reaction.

Marcos José Marques, +7 more
- 01 Jan 2006 - 
TL;DR: The value of PCR is confirmed as an alternative laboratory method for diagnosing ACL, especially for those patients with negative PE and MST, and in the group of patients suspected to have ACL, PCR presented the same positivity as PE andMST together.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eliane de Morais-Teixeira, +4 more
- 01 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: The in vitro leishmanicidal activity of miltefosine® (Zentaris GmbH) was assessed against four medically relevant Leishmania species of Brazil, suggesting that future clinical trials with this drug should include a laboratory pre-evaluation and a dose-defining step.
