Department of Medical Microbiology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands
J Clin Microbiol 42:1498-504. 2004..This approach may have important advantages, which include a superior reproducibility and sensitivity, allowing the inclusion of kinetic criteria in clinical guidelines...
Simultaneous detection of Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium parvum in fecal samples by using multiplex real-time PCRJaco J Verweij
Department of Parasitology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands
J Clin Microbiol 42:1220-3. 2004..The use of this assay in a diagnostic laboratory would provide sensitive and specific diagnosis of the main parasitic diarrheal infections and could improve patient management and infection control...
