detection of cytomegalovirus (cmv) in peripheral blood specimens in patients before keratoplasty
نویسندگان
چکیده
cytomegalovirus is the most important pathogen affecting transplant recipients and causing significant morbidity and morbidity. the prevalence of cmv infections in transplant recipient varies from country to country. the aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of pcr assay for cmv detection in patients before keratoplasty. a total of 23 patient samples enrolled in this study from march 2008 to feb 2010. based on the result the over all incidence of cmv infection was 39.1 percent (9 positive sample) in pcr assay. in this study, the plasma pcr assay proved to be sensitive and specific in order to detect cmv infections.

BACKGROUND The amount of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in the blood (CMV load) may be a marker for detection of resistant CMV.METHODS. A total of 165 patients with AIDS and CMV retinitis had CMV load measurements (plasma and leukocyte) and cultures performed every 3 months; these measurements were correlated with CMV resistance to antiviral drugs and CMV retinitis progression (from masked readings ...

We evaluated the AMPLICOR CMV test (PCR) for the direct detection of cytomegalovirus in plasma. Sixty-eight specimens were involved for the comparison between the AMPLICOR test and the antigenemia assay. The sensitivities, specificities, and positive and negative predictive values were 97.1, 100, 100, and 97.1%, respectively, for the AMPLICOR test and 79.4, 100, 100, and 82.9%, respectively, fo...
متن کاملFrequency of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in benign and malignant tumors
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a widespread pathogen that is found in milk, saliva, urine, cervical secretions, and semen fluid. It is supposed that CMV is a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of CMV among benign and malignant breast tumors. Paraffin embedded breast carcinoma (n=24) and fibroadenoma (n=24) samples were collected from Toos and Firoozgar...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus (CMV) Encephalitis in HIV Patients
It is hypothesized that impaired CD4 cell functioning is attributable to viral replication. Most cases of CMV encephalitis occur when CD4 counts fall below 50, however patients may be predisposed to CMV infection prior to depletion of CD4 [1]. Previous opportunistic infections (OIs), a high level of CMV viremia, and high plasma HIV RNA levels (>100,000 copies/mL) are other reported risk factors...
