Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), associated with Merkel cell carcinoma, was detected in 27 of 635 nasopharyngeal aspirate samples by real-time PCR. MCPyV was more commonly found in adults than in children. Presence in the upper respiratory tract may be a general property of human PyVs.
通过实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)在635份鼻咽抽吸物样本中的27份中检测到了与默克尔细胞癌相关的默克尔细胞多瘤病毒(MCPyV)。MCPyV在成人中比在儿童中更常见。在上呼吸道中的存在可能是人类多瘤病毒的一个普遍特性。
