The polymerase chain reaction is sensitive and specific in the detection of defined D N A sequences and holds promise for diagnosing the presence of fastidious microorganisms in human infectious diseases. We developed a methodology for nested polymerase chain reaction and hybridization analysis of t

## Abstract The reliability of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for prenatal diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection was determined by retrospective testing of 35 amniotic fluids identified previously as positive or negative for HCMV by virus isolation. Amniocentesis was performed in
We have used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique for the diagnosis of hydatidiform mole, a trophoblastic disease. For this, we targeted the hypervariable 3' flanking region of the APOB gene (APOB/ VNTR) because of its high heterozygosity index (0.61) in the Japanese population. We examined
The earliest or patch stage of mycosis fungoides may present diagnostic difficulty both clinically and pathologically. The present study of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as a diagnostic tool in early mycosis fungoides was therefore undertaken, using a rapid PCR method for the detection of -and
