To determine cytomegalovirus (CMV) frequency in neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis by serology, histological revision (searching for cytomegalic cells), immunohistochemistry, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and to verify the relationships among these methods.
The study comprised 101 non-consecutive infants submitted for hepatic biopsy between March 1982 and December 2005. Serological results were obtained from the patient's files and the other methods were performed on paraffin-embedded liver samples from hepatic biopsies. The following statistical measures were calculated: frequency, sensibility, specific positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy.
The frequencies of positive results were as follows: serology, 7/64 (11%); histological revision, 0/84; immunohistochemistry, 1/44 (2%), and PCR, 6/77 (8%). Only one patient had positive immunohistochemical findings and a positive PCR. The following statistical measures were calculated between PCR and serology: sensitivity, 33.3%; specificity, 88.89%; positive predictive value, 28.57%; negative predictive value, 90.91%; and accuracy, 82.35%.
The frequency of positive CMV varied among the tests. Serology presented the highest positive frequency. When compared to PCR, the sensitivity and positive predictive value of serology were low.
通过血清学、组织学检查(寻找巨细胞)、免疫组织化学和聚合酶链反应(PCR)来确定新生儿肝内胆汁淤积症中巨细胞病毒(CMV)的感染率,并验证这些方法之间的关系。
该研究纳入了1982年3月至2005年12月期间接受肝活检的101例非连续性婴儿。血清学结果来自患者病历,其他方法则对肝活检石蜡包埋的肝脏样本进行。计算了以下统计指标:感染率、敏感性、阳性预测值、阴性预测值和准确性。
阳性结果的发生率如下:血清学检查,7/64(11%);组织学检查,0/84;免疫组织化学检查,1/44(2%),PCR检查,6/77(8%)。只有1例患者免疫组织化学检查结果为阳性且PCR检查结果也为阳性。计算了PCR检查与血清学检查之间的以下统计指标:敏感性,33.3%;特异性,88.89%;阳性预测值,28.57%;阴性预测值,90.91%;准确性,82.35%。
不同检测方法中CMV阳性率有所不同。血清学检查的阳性率最高。与PCR检查相比,血清学检查的敏感性和阳性预测值较低。
