U.S., July 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07715435) titled 'Collection of Biological Samples From Patients With Echinococcosis and Implementation of a Home-made PCR Method' on July 15.
Brief Summary: Echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus species. Diagnosis currently relies on imaging, serology and microscopy, but microscopy is time-consuming, has limited sensitivity and cannot distinguish between Echinococcus species. Molecular methods such as PCR may therefore provide a faster, more sensitive and species-specific diagnostic approach, with both clinical and epidemiological value. This study aims to improve molecular diagnosis and knowledge of pulmonary echinococcosis.
