Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification of Trypanosoma cruzi DNA for Point-of-Care Follow-Up of Anti-Parasitic Treatment of Chagas Disease

Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification of Trypanosoma cruzi DNA for Point-of-Care Follow-Up of Anti-Parasitic Treatment of Chagas Disease

A loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay was evaluated as a surrogate marker of treatment failure in Chagas disease (CD). A convenience series of 18 acute or reactivated CD patients who received anti-parasitic treatment with benznidazole was selected—namely, nine orally infected patients: thre...
