Evaluation of conventional and four real-time PCR methods for the detection of Leishmania on field-collected samples in Ethiopia.
In most low-resource settings, microscopy still is the standard method for diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis, despite its limited sensitivity. In Ethiopia, the more sensitive molecular methods are not yet routinely used. This study compared five PCR methods with microscopy on two sample types col...
