Immunocompromised patients can have life-threatening adenoviral infection. Viral load in blood and stool is commonly used to guide antiviral therapy. We developed and evaluated a digital polymerase chain reaction assay to quantify human adenovirus in the respiratory tract and showed that higher peak load correlates with disseminated infection, mechanical ventilation, and death.
免疫功能低下的患者可能会发生危及生命的腺病毒感染。血液和粪便中的病毒载量通常用于指导抗病毒治疗。我们开发并评估了一种数字聚合酶链反应检测方法,用于定量呼吸道中的人腺病毒,并表明较高的峰值载量与播散性感染、机械通气和死亡相关。
