The sensitivities of kinetoplast DNA-PCR, ssrRNA-gene PCR, and gpi-PCR were 93.3%, 73.3%, and 33.3%, respectively, with 15 initial serum samples from visceral leishmaniasis patients, as well as 9.1%, 9.1%, and 0.0%, respectively, with 11 follow-up serum samples taken at various time points following anti-leishmanial therapy. This evidence concerns the gene GPI and visceral leishmaniasis.
