Detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in peripheral blood leukocytes has been shown to be a sensitive marker of CMV infection. However, the specificity with regard to its clinical significance is less clear, since infections considered to be latent may be detected. In this report, the presence of C

Diagnosis of significant infections by human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) and 7 (HHV7) in transplant patients has proved difficult because both viruses are ubiquitous and can cause persistent infections in their hosts. The significance of viral DNA detected in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs; DNAemia) by
## Abstract To establish the effect of the presence in blood cells of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) DNA, two herpesviruses that are activated frequently in AIDS patients, were selected from the Amsterdam Cohort Studies on HIV/AIDS 181 PBMC samples from patients with and witho
## Abstract Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (IβFISH) studies have a remarkable prognostic value in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). IβFISH studies can be performed either on tetradecanoylphorbol acetate stimulated peripheral blood cells (IβFISHβTPA) or unstimulated pe
It has been suggested that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) glycoprotein B (gB) genotypes could be used as a marker for viral virulence in patients with AIDS. The present study was designed to evaluate a possible association between specific gB genotypes, the presence of HCMV retinitis, and the HCMV vir
