diagnosing of herpes simplex virus infections in suspected patients using real-time pcr
نویسندگان
چکیده
background herpes simplex virus infections are very common worldwide. the virus can cause infection in various body parts, especially eyes and the nervous system. therefore, an early diagnosis and highly sensitive method is very helpful. objectives the present study sought to investigate the efficiency of real-time taqman probe pcr in the diagnosis of hsv infection in suspected patients. patients and methods in this study, 1566 patients with suspected hsv infections were enrolled. they aged 17 days to 96 years. the collected specimens were classified into four groups; cerebrospinal fluid (csf) from hse suspected individuals, samples from eye epithelial scraping, tear fluid or aqueous humor from herpes simplex keratitis (hsk) suspected patients, plasma of immune compromised patients and mucocutaneous collected samples from different body parts. the samples were analyzed by real-time pcr assays. results in total, 44 (5.6%), 118 (26.8%), 23 (11.7%), 13 (44.8%) and 65 (45.5%) of 791 hse, 407 hsk, 29 skin hsv, 143 oropharyngeal suspected patients and 196 patients with systemic hsv infection hsv had positive results by real-time pcr assays, respectively. conclusions real-time pcr assay, due to its high sensitivity and specificity, can help in early diagnosis and more effective treatment for patients. also, it requires shorter hospital stay and promotes patients' survival.

Rapid detection of herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus infections by real-time PCR.
The herpes simplex viruses types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) can cause life-threatening infections of the central nervous system and lead to severe infections in immunocompromised subjects and newborns. In these cases, rapid diagnosis is crucial. We developed three different real-time PCR assays based on TaqMan chemistry for the LightCycler instrument to detect HS...
متن کاملDetection of Herpes simplex virus DNA by real-time PCR.
Molecular detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA is recognized as the reference standard assay method for the sensitive and specific diagnosis of central nervous system infections caused by HSV. In this study, a molecular assay based on real-time PCR on the LightCycler (LC) instrument was evaluated and compared with a home-brew molecular assay. The detection limit of the LC assay was deter...
