POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION AND ADVANCES IN INFECTIOUS DISEASE DIAGNOSIS.

P K Menon1, K Kapila1, V C Ohri2.   

Abstract

The use of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in infectious disease diagnosis, has resulted in an ability to diagnose early and treat appropriately diseases due to fastidious pathogens, determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of slow growing organisms, and ascertain the quantum of infection. This article outlines the PCR, some of its modifications and their application in infectious disease diagnosis.
