Molecular diagnosis of Cytomegalovirus infection: clinical performance of Transcription Mediated Amplification (TMA) towards conventional qPCR chemistry on whole blood samples
Abstract:Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection represents a life-threating pathogen for immunocompromised patients. Molecular quantitative testing on whole blood or plasma represents the gold standard for diagnosis of invasive HCMV infection and for monitoring antiviral treatment in individuals at risk of CMV disease. For these reasons, accurate standardization towards the 1st WHO International standard between different centres and diagnostic kits represent an effort for a better clinical management of CMV-positive p… Show more
