Application of PCR in serum samples for diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis in the southern Bahia-Brazil.
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) cannot always be diagnosed by conventional means such as direct examination of histopathology or clinical samples, and serological methods, used as an alternative, still have many cases of cross-reactivity. In this scenario, molecular techniques seem to arise as a rapid...
