In 13 of 16 AIDS patients with retinitis, a herpesviruslike infection was diagnosed by clinical investigation. In 12 of the 13 patients, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA was detected in 5 microliters of aqueous humor by using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the aqueous humor of 12 control patients HCMV DNA could not be detected by PCR. PCR may be used to monitor specific antiviral long-term therapy in HCMV retinitis.
在16例患有视网膜炎的艾滋病患者中,有13例经临床检查诊断为疱疹病毒样感染。在这13例患者中的12例中,通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)在5微升房水中检测到了人巨细胞病毒(HCMV)DNA。在12例对照患者的房水中,通过PCR未检测到HCMV DNA。PCR可用于监测HCMV视网膜炎的特异性抗病毒长期治疗。
