Molecular diagnosis and sub-speciation of cutaneous leishmaniasis
Diagnosing cutaneous leishmaniasis histologically depends on the identification of the amastigotes, which is inconclusive and leads to cases of missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. In this article, we describe a rapid diagnostic molecular method for Leishmania species identification and differentiation using DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) skin tissue biopsies. by L.
