To investigate the role of human parvovirus B19 (Parvo B19), cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human papilloma virus (HPV) viruses in the aetiopathogenesis of spontaneous abortions.
Abortion material from 102 cases of women with spontaneous abortions were analysed for the presence of Parvo B19, CMV and HPV DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Serological assays were used for the detection of specific IgM and IgG antibodies against Parvo B19 virus and CMV in the maternal sera.
Parvo B19 virus genome was detected in two cases of spontaneous abortion, by PCR amplification, while CMV and HPV genomes were not observed. Serological markers were indicative for Parvo B19 virus and CMV infection in ten and four cases, respectively.
PCR is a useful method for investigating the viral contribution to the aetiopathogenesis of spontaneous abortions and for detecting the viral genome in the abortion material. This study of 102 cases of spontaneous abortion does not implicate CMV and HPV in the aetiopathogenesis of spontaneous abortion, although it indicates a possible abortional role for Parvo B19 virus.
探讨人细小病毒B19(细小病毒B19)、巨细胞病毒(CMV)和人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)在自然流产病因学中的作用。
采用聚合酶链反应(PCR)技术分析102例自然流产女性的流产组织,检测其中细小病毒B19、CMV和HPV DNA的存在情况。采用血清学检测方法检测孕妇血清中针对细小病毒B19病毒和CMV的特异性IgM和IgG抗体。
通过PCR扩增,在2例自然流产病例中检测到细小病毒B19病毒基因组,而未观察到CMV和HPV基因组。血清学标志物分别在10例和4例中提示细小病毒B19病毒和CMV感染。
PCR是一种用于研究病毒对自然流产病因学贡献以及检测流产组织中病毒基因组的有用方法。这项对102例自然流产病例的研究并未表明CMV和HPV与自然流产的病因学有关,尽管它表明细小病毒B19病毒可能具有导致流产的作用。
