Enhancement of the AMPLICOR enterovirus PCR test with a coprecipitant.
The incorporation of a commercially available coprecipitant into the AMPLICOR enterovirus PCR test specimen preparation enhanced the sensitivity and reproducibility of this assay. Fifty-five previously tested archived cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) specimens were tested in a blind study in duplicate with and without Pellet Paint coprecipitant (Novagen, Inc., Madison, Wis.). Of these specimens, 26 h...

متن کاملMulticenter evaluation of the Amplicor Enterovirus PCR test with cerebrospinal fluid from patients with aseptic meningitis. The European Union Concerted Action on Viral Meningitis and Encephalitis.
The Amplicor Enterovirus PCR test was compared with viral culture for the detection of enteroviruses in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens. In a multicenter study in which nine laboratories participated, a total of 476 CSF specimens were collected from patients with suspected aseptic meningitis. Sixty-eight samples were positive by PCR (14.4%), whereas 49 samples were positive by culture (10.4...
متن کاملComparison between the Results of the Real Time PCR Test and Those of the Cobas Amplicor HCV Test, v2.0. In Hepatitis C Virus Infected Egyptian Patients
Purpose: Several assays are used to diagnose HCV infected patients, but measurement of HCV RNA levels has become an integral and increasingly important part of the management of patients with HCV infection to select the appropriate treatment schedule and to estimate the treatment outcome. Real Time PCR test allows for detection of PCR amplification products during the early phase of the reactio...
متن کاملReproducibility of walking test results in chronic obstructive airways disease.
Thirty six patients with chronic airflow obstruction were studied to examine (1) the reproducibility and order effect of repeated walking tests when performed over consecutive days or consecutive weeks; (2) the correlation between walking distance and spirometric measurements; and (3) the effect of static visual clues on performance. In study 1, where 12 patients performed 12 walks over three c...
