The influence of the pH of urine on the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) by the shell vial assay was evaluated. The pH values of 295 urine specimens ranged from 4.7 to 8.5 (mean 6.3) and were not significantly different in culture-positive versus culture-negative samples. None of the urine specimens appeared to be toxic for the cells used in the shell vial assay. We recommend inoculation of urine specimens into shell vials without adjustment of pH.
评估了尿液pH值对空斑试验检测巨细胞病毒(CMV)的影响。295份尿液标本的pH值范围为4.7至8.5(平均6.3),培养阳性和培养阴性样本之间无显著差异。所有尿液标本对空斑试验所用细胞均无毒性。我们建议在不调节pH值的情况下将尿液标本接种到空斑试验瓶中。
