Surveillance of cytomegalovirus after solid-organ transplantation: comparison of pp65 antigenemia assay with a quantitative DNA hybridization assay.
In a multicenter study, 113 blood samples from 19 organ transplant patients were analyzed for cytomegalovirus by the pp65 antigenemia assay and a quantitative DNA hybridization assay. Overall, there was 84% agreement among the results obtained by the two tests. Fifteen of 16 episodes of active infection were detected by both assays. One episode was missed by the pp65 assay, and one patient show...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Sensitive Quantitative Competitive PCR Assay for Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus DNA
Accurate and rapid diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) disease in immunocompromised patients has remained as a challenge. Quantitative competitive PCR (QC-PCR) methods for detection of HCMV in these individuals have improved the positive and negative predictive values of PCR for diagnosis of HCMV disease. In this study we used QC-PCR assay, using a co-amplified DNA standard, to quantitate...
متن کامل2-Hour cytomegalovirus pp65 antigenemia assay for rapid quantitation of cytomegalovirus in blood samples.
Of 109 blood samples tested for cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigenemia, 18 (16.5%) were positive. CMV Brite detected 13 and CMV Brite Turbo detected 16 of the 18 positives. There was no significant difference in the number of positive cells detected per sample. The seven discrepant samples contained a median of only one positive cell.
متن کاملEvaluation of a leukocyte stabilization reagent for use in the cytomegalovirus pp65 antigenemia assay.
New erythrocyte lysis and leukocyte stabilization reagents (Streck Laboratories, Inc.) were tested in the cytomegalovirus pp65 antigenemia assay, to determine if whole-blood processing time could be delayed to 24 h postdraw. The combination of these reagents gave results comparable to those for patient samples processed immediately after blood draw.
متن کاملMulticenter comparison of the digene hybrid capture CMV DNA assay (version 2.0), the pp65 antigenemia assay, and cell culture for detection of cytomegalovirus viremia.
We compared the Digene Hybrid Capture CMV DNA Assay version 2.0, the pp65 antigenemia assay, traditional tube culture, and shell vial culture for the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia in several patient populations at three centers. Of 561 blood specimens collected from 402 patients, complete clinical and laboratory data were available for 489. Using consensus definitions for true posi...
