Lengerova et al. recently published on the failure of a real-time human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) PCR caused by nucleotide variability within exon 4 of the major immediateearly (MIE) gene (3). For more than 6 years, we and other laboratories have routinely used an HCMV in-house realtime PCR assay with primers and probe different from those used by Lengerova et al. but amplifying a sequence also lo...

BACKGROUND A reduction in the use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) because of human health concerns may result in an increased use of and human exposure to organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs). Human exposure and health studies of OPFRs are lacking. OBJECTIVES We sought to define the degree of temporal variability in urinary OPFR metabolites in order to inform epidemiologic study...
