| evaluation of three polymerase chain reaction tests targeting morphological transforming region ii, ul-83 gene and glycoprotein o gene for the detection of human cytomegalovirus genome in clinical specimens of immunocompromised patients in chennai, india. | human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) continues to be an important cause of morbidity and occasional mortality in immunocompromised patients. polymerase chain reaction (pcr) is the most sensitive and commonly used method for the assessment of hcmv infection in the immunocompromised patients at risk from severe associated clinical manifestations. however, there is little consistency in the qualitative pcr used for different regions of hcmv genome. therefore, the performance of three qualitative pcr tests ... | 2006 | 16571138 |
| infectious aetiology of congenital cataract based on torches screening in a tertiary eye hospital in chennai, tamil nadu, india. | we undertook this study to determine the infectious aetiology of congenital cataract based on the presence of igm antibodies to torches [(toxoplasma gondii (t. gondii), rubella virus (rv), cytomegalovirus (cmv), herpes simplex virus (hsv) and syphilis (caused by treponema pallidum)] in the serum samples of congenital cataract patients. | 2010 | 20424308 |
| polymerase chain reaction based restriction fragment length polymorphism for the genotyping of cytomegalovirus (cmv) from patients with cmv disease in chennai. | since cytomegalovirus (cmv) is heterogenous and exhibits genomic polymorphism, polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) was applied to identify the glycoprotein b subtypes in patients diagnosed to have cmv disease. | 2002 | 12440195 |
