Polymerase chain reaction with lesion scrapping for the diagnosis of human American tegumentary leishmaniasis

The objective of this work was to compare the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using lesion scrapping with other conventional techniques for the diagnosis of the American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL). For this, patients with cutaneous lesions suspected to be ATL were studied. The DNA was amplified...
