Comparison of immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescence assays for pp65 cytomegalovirus antigen in immunocompromised patients.
We compared the pp65 antigen detection by an in house method (immunoperoxidase assay) and by a commercial kit (immunofluorescence assay) available for cytomegalovirus infection diagnosis in immunocompromised patients. Sixty-four blood samples were analyzed in duplicate for both techniques. Eight-six percent of the samples had concordant qualitative results. The discordant results occurred more ...
متن کاملComparison of direct immunofluorescence and direct immunoperoxidase procedures for detection of herpes simplex virus antigen in lesion specimens.
Direct immunofluorescence and direct immunoperoxidase staining were equally sensitive and specific for detection of herpes simplex virus antigen in lesion specimens, and each method showed 82% agreement with virus isolation results.
متن کاملComparison of direct immunoperoxidase and direct immunofluorescence for the detection of herpes simplex virus antigen in cell culture.
150 specimens from suspected herpes simplex genital and skin lesions were received in virus transport medium. They were inoculated into Hep-2 cell monolayers, examined for the presence of virus by cytopathic effect (CPE), direct immunoperoxidase (DIP) and direct immunofluorescence (DIF). Of 39 (26.0%) virus-positive specimens by CPE, 37 (24.7%) were HSV-positive by DIP and 36 (24.0%) by DIF sta...
متن کاملComparison of real-time PCR and pp65 antigen assays for monitoring the development of Cytomegalovirus disease in recipients of solid organ and bone marrow transplants.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a frequent complication in transplant recipients. This retrospective study compared real-time PCR (rt-PCR) and a pp65 antigen assay as tools for monitoring CMV infection in solid organ (SOT) and bone marrow (SCT) transplant patients. The study tested 2662 samples by rt-PCR, and 1284 specimens with a pp65 antigen assay. 24.3% of the rt-PCR samples and 4.1% of t...
متن کاملRelationship between pp65 antigenemia levels and real-time quantitative DNA PCR for Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) management in immunocompromised patients
BACKGROUND Quantitative real-time PCR assays, which are more rapid and practical than pp65 antigenemia determination, are progressively becoming the preferred method for monitoring Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) reactivation. However, the relationship between HCMV DNA and antigenemia levels is still under investigation. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between HCMV DNA and pp...
