abstract：:Diagnosis of Bordetella pertussis infection has been difficult due to the low sensitivity of culture. PCR tests have been shown to be more sensitive than culture, but the reported sensitivity of PCR is variable. We evaluated PCR product detection by using either agarose gel electrophoresis (PCR-gel) or dot blot hybrid...
