Diagnosis of dengue by using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
A rapid identification of dengue viruses from clinical samples by using a nested reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) procedure was carried out for diagnostic and epidemiological purposes. RT-PCR identified DEN-1 and DEN-2 viruses in 41% (41/100) of previously confirmed cases and provided an accurate confirmation of DHF in four fatal cases. RT-PCR was also useful for detecti...
متن کاملRapid diagnosis of dengue viremia by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction using 3'-noncoding region universal primers.
A reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was developed as a rapid diagnostic test of dengue viremia. To detect dengue viruses in serum or plasma specimens, a pair of universal primers was designed for use in the RT-PCR. Using these primers, the 3'-noncoding region of dengue virus types 1, 2, 3, and 4 could be amplified, but not those of other flaviviruses, such as West ...
متن کاملReverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR).
Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has become a well-established and powerful molecular technique for studying ribonucleic acids. It is used in medical diagnostics for detecting viral RNA, in hematology and oncology for detecting chimeric transcripts of rearranged genes (1), and in the broad area of research applications in gene expression studies. Since its introduction (...
متن کاملIncrease in the sensitivity of dengue diagnosis by combination of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and passage on cell cultures.
We passaged 52 serum samples from dengue patients on C6/36 cells for 7 days and checked the culture fluids by RT-PCR. Two serum samples, which were negative by direct RT-PCR, became positive. One sample was collected on fever day 1 and the other on fever day 2. Results indicate that combination of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with passage of serum samples on C6/36 ce...
متن کاملRapid detection and typing of dengue viruses from clinical samples by using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
We report on the development and application of a rapid assay for detecting and typing dengue viruses. Oligonucleotide consensus primers were designed to anneal to any of the four dengue virus types and amplify a 511-bp product in a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (PCR). First, we produced a cDNA copy of a portion of the viral genome in a reverse transcriptase reaction in the pr...
