An assay to detect and sequence DNA from human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) immediate-
early gene region 1 has been developed; it involves in vitro amplification by the polymerase …

ABSTRACT A real-time PCR assay was developed to quantify human cytomegalovirus
(CMV) DNA. This assay was used to demonstrate a higher CMV DNA load in plasma of …

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common member of the herpesvirus group and an
important pathogen in immunocompromised patients. Its genome consists of a single 240-kb …

An in situ DNA hybridization kit for cytomegalovirus (CMV) was evaluated for the detection of
CMV in centrifugation culture. Of 61 clinical specimens, 17 (27.8%) were positive for CMV by …

With the advent of effective therapy rapid, sensitive and reliable assays for diagnosis of
human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections are required. In a total of 1,928 urine samples …

The association of cytomegalovirus (CMV) with a plethora of diseases and the recent
development of potent anti-CMV compounds warrants the need for accurate verification of …

The measurement of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA in blood is becoming the
standard method for monitoring HCMV infection in immune-suppressed and unsuppressed …

Rapid diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection may be obtained by molecular
techniques, such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and hybridization assays. The …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
was utilized previously for successful monitoring of HCMV infections in …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can produce life-threatening disease in
immunosuppressed AIDS patients and organ transplant recipients. Congenital HCMV is the …
