Quantitative parasitemia in T. cruzi congenitally infected children.

Parasite burden by qPCR was a retrospective work after all infected babies were referred for trypanocidal treatment. Median parasitemia (interquartile range), expressed as equivalent parasites per mL, of children diagnosed by parasitology at 1 or 6 months of age or by serology at around 12 months of age.基于定量聚合酶链反应（quantitative polymerase chain reaction, qPCR）的寄生虫负荷分析为一项回顾性研究，其实施于所有感染婴儿均完成抗锥虫治疗（trypanocidal treatment）之后。本数据集针对在1月龄或6月龄时经寄生虫学方法确诊，或在约12月龄时经血清学方法确诊的儿童群体，统计其以每毫升等效寄生虫数表示的虫血症（parasitemia）数据，结果以中位数（四分位数间距，interquartile range）呈现。
