Comparison of Detected Results of Blood and Urine Specimens of Infant Patients with Hepatitis Using ~(32)p and Biotin-Labeled HCMV DNA Probes
Abstract: Human cytomegaiovirus(HCMV)DNA in clinical blood and urine specimens of 27 infant patients infected with hepatitis were detected by DNA-DNA dot blot hybridization using ~(32)P and biotin labeled cloned HCMV AD169 DNA fragment. The hybridization results of blood and urine specimens were compared 16 of 27 blood specimens were pesitive(59%). Of 27 urine specimens, 9 were positive (33%). The preliminary results indicate that the positive rate of HCMV DNA in blood specimens is 26% higher than that in urine speci...
