... investigate the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in tumor samples, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on paraffin-embedded material. Results: Malignant transformation affects mainly men with a long-term history of genitoanal HS. Although our cases were 7 well-differentiated carcinomas and 6 verrucous...

... with polymerase chain reaction, followed by hybridization with a sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe on dot-blotted and Southern-blotted amplified DNA samples. Ninety percent (9/10) of patients with pure OCP had the DQB1*0301 allele, in contrast to 52% (17/33) of normal individuals who had the DQB 1*0301...

... to unequivocally support a suspected herpetic infection, herpes simplex virus-specific DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in cytological swabs taken from oral erosions of all 3 patients. Conclusion : Herpetic infection should be considered in pemphigus vulgaris with lack of improvement under...

A diagnosis of lupus vulgaris was achieved through the detection of the 16S rRNA gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a skin biopsy of the patient by means of a polymerase chain reaction followed by a reverse cross blot hybridization, a method which...

..., consistent with a diagnosis of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. Cultures from an abscess of his right knee joint and his blood were both positive for Staphylococcus aureus . Both S. aureus isolates were confirmed to be double-producers of ETA and ETB using the polymerase chain reaction. The use...

... bacilli could be demonstrated. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay did not reveal the presence of mycobacteria in a lesional biopsy sample. Culture of biopsied tissue on Loewenstein-Jensen medium was negative. Although the tuberculosis culture and PCR did not confirm tuberculosis, a diagnosis of lupus...

...Patricia P.L. Ng; Yong Jiang Sun; Hiok Hee Tan; Suat Hoon Tan Background: The wide variation in the detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA (36–75%) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in erythema multiforme (EM) may be partly attributed to differences in case selection in terms of subsets of EM...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a sensitive test for the detection of low amounts of DNA in tissues. Objective: We applied PCR on paraffin-embedded skin biopsies to assess the validity of this method...

Methods: HPV DNA was studied in such samples by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization. Results: Despite negative results with in situ hybridization, the PCR with HPV type 33...
