Abstract
A PCR assay based on oligonucleotide primers derived from the sequence of the gene coding for the 43,000-Da (gp43) antigen was developed to detect Paracoccidioides brasiliensis DNA in sputa. In the standardized conditions, it could detect 10 cells/ml of sputum, providing sufficient accuracy to be useful for diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis.Entities:
