Fig 5. Results of cestode-PCR on FFPE samples of AE patients.

A: PCR results for all FFPE samples included in the study, subdivided in the different groups; B: Influence of conservation time on PCR results in group 1, 2 and 3. Results for samples stored 5 years or less are represented in dark grey, those for samples stored longer than 5 years in light gray. C: Time course of PCR-results of group 1; subdivided in samples ≤ 5 years conservation time and > 5 years conservation time.
