Abstract
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was developed to detect Kala-azar. Out of 25 patients, 24 were detected, a sensitivity of 96%. The specificity rate, false positive rate, false negative rate, coincidence rate and Youdent's index were 100% (60/60), 0, 4%, 99% and 0.96 respectively. It was shown that the PCR technique can directly detect Kala-azar in samples (1 microliter) from peripheral blood.Entities:
