The authors propose a simple and standard approach to semi-quantitative detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in blood leukocytes by the polymerase chain reaction. The method was used in early diagnosis and treatment of manifest CMV infection in HIV-infected patients. High titers of CMV DNA correlated with the manifestation of CMV disease and progressive loss of host immune function. Clinical significance of difference in DNA titers was revealed. The proposed method can be used to assess the efficacy of specific anti-CMV therapy.

D003586 Cytomegalovirus Infections Infection with CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, characterized by enlarged cells bearing intranuclear inclusions. Infection may be in almost any organ, but the salivary glands are the most common site in children, as are the lungs in adults.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.

D000998 Antiviral Agents Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.

Ganciclovir is used to treat complications from AIDS-associated cytomegalovirus infections. BIOLF-62,BW-759,Cytovene,Ganciclovir Sodium,Ganciclovir, Monosodium Salt,Gancyclovir,RS-21592
D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
