The presence of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was tested in 388 cervicovaginal cells specimens obtained from the same number of pregnant women. HCMV was detected in 5.41%, 11.6% and 13.9% of these specimens by conventional culture, in situ DNA hybridization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods, respectively. The sensitivities of detecting HCMV by in situ hybridization and PCR methods were 76.2% and 90.5% and the specificities were 92.1% and 90.5%, respectively, when compared with conventional culture method. The PCR compared favourably with both conventional culture and in situ hybridization methods and it may become a valuable and useful tool for the early and rapid detection of HCMV in clinical specimens.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
