Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Congenital CMV Infection CDC
WebPCR detects amplicons of the immediate-early (IE) viral protein 1 (IE1, UL123) and Glycoprotein B (gB, UL55) coding regions. Detection of CMV DNA (IU/mL) is achieved by amplifying a standard curve at the same efficiency, consisting of serial dilutions of a known amount of DNA containing the CMV amplicons. WebCytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common infection caused by a type of herpes virus. Pregnant people infected with CMV can give birth to a baby with congenital CMV. Congenital CMV can cause hearing loss and developmental issues. CMV can cause serious complications in people who have a compromised immune system, such as transplant recipients. … simplify 8/99
CMV Infection Laboratory Testing CDC
WebCytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a significant problem in transplantation. In this study, a quantitative PCR test was compared with the CMVpp65 antigenemia assay not only in the diagnosis CMV infections but especially in the monitoring of viral loads during ganciclovir treatment of CMV disease in … WebCMV is detected frequently in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) using DNA–specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), but is a bystander most of the time and should trigger a search for a more likely causative pathogen. CMV PCR from the BAL has not been shown to have diagnostic value in people with HIV. WebThe performance of the US9 CMV real-time PCR (laboratory-developed test) is summarized in the Table: Table.
