摘要: OBJECTIVE To assess the application of allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) as a fast, cheap and reliable method for detecting mutant TbAT1 associated with melarsoprol relapse in Trypanosoma brucei gambiense isolates from northwest Uganda. METHODS A total 105 trypanosome were analysed using SfaN1 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) AS-PCR, former used gold standard. Sensitivity, specificity, positive negative predictive values AS-PCR well agreement between tests determined. RESULTS Eleven had while 94 exhibited wild-type genes. There was highly significant RFLP kappa intra-class correlation 1.0. The sensitivity specificity both 100%, found to be equal Cost time analyses performed 4.3 times cheaper than RFLP, addition less required its execution. CONCLUSION should test choice screening ever-increasing numbers field isolates.
