## 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

Diagnosis of scabies infection can be difficult as in many cases only few mites are present on an infected person, and in some cases the skin manifestations can be subtle or atypical. We describe the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify Sarcoptes scabiei DNA in a patient presenting with
Two major variables may cause false-negative results in prenatal diagnosis of congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection: sensitivity of the technique(s) used; and time elapsed between maternal infection and antenatal testing. Previous results indicated that rapid HCMV isolation from amniotic
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common cause of viral intra-uterine infection. The experience with prenatal diagnosis remains limited and is based on few reports of small numbers of cases. It is thus difficult to compare the accuracy of the different tests because the groups studied were sm
