Dimethyl sulfoxide, dexamethasone, and calcium were tested in combination for their enhancing effects on cytomegalovirus detection in shell vial cultures on 1,579 clinical specimens obtained primarily from adult solid-organ transplant recipients. Fluorescent-focus counts were elevated for the cytomegalovirus-positive urine specimens (P < 0.01) and throat washings (P < 0.05) but not for the tissue biopsy or blood samples. Epidermal growth factor also increased focus counts but provided no additional benefit when used in combination with the other agents. The triple-combination treatment did not increase the number of positive specimens identified.
对1579份主要取自成年实体器官移植受者的临床标本,测试了二甲亚砜、地塞米松和钙联合使用对壳瓶培养中巨细胞病毒检测的增强作用。巨细胞病毒阳性尿液标本(P < 0.01)和咽洗液标本(P < 0.05)的荧光灶计数升高,但组织活检标本和血液样本未升高。表皮生长因子也增加了灶计数,但与其他试剂联合使用时未提供额外益处。三联组合治疗未增加鉴定出的阳性标本数量。
