Cytomegalovirus infection monitored by quantitative real-time PCR in critically ill patients
(CMV) reactivation has been widely documented in the past 10 years in critically ill patients [1]. Conversely, few data are available on burn patients despite experimental studies showing that these patients are predisposed to herpes virus infections [2]. To our knowledge, only two studies reported the incidence of CMV infection in burn patients using a modern technique , such as PCR, which has...
متن کاملDetection and monitoring of cytomegalovirus infection in renal transplant patients by quantitative real-time PCR.
OBJECTIVES To establish a sensitive and specific real-time PCR for quantitation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in clinical specimens. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In a prospective study, CMV DNA was quantified in blood samples of 255 kidney recipients with and without CMV-related symptoms between the years 2000 and 2005 in Kuwait. In a selected group of patients, the effect of anti-CMV chemotherapy was...
متن کاملDetection of human cytomegalovirus DNA by real-time quantitative PCR.
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 bone marrow transplant patients than in that of blood donors. The CMV load was higher in CMV antigen-positive patients than in antigen-negative patients.

INTRODUCTION The precise role of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in contributing to outcomes in critically ill immunocompetent patients has not been fully defined. METHODS Studies in which critically ill immunocompetent adults were monitored for CMV infection in the intensive care unit (ICU) were reviewed. RESULTS CMV infection occurs in 0 to 36% of critically ill patients, mostly between 4...
