## Abstract In HIV‐infected patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) included in the Predivir cohort, we have evaluated the usefulness of CMV DNA quantitation by a TaqMan^®^ PCR assay from peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) to predict CMV disease occurrence. In parallel wi

Background: Studies suggest that cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection exacerbates ulcerative colitis (UC) refractory to immunosuppressive therapies. Early and accurate diagnosis of CMV infection is important for the treatment of UC. We evaluated the usefulness of quantitative real-time polymerase chain r
## Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections and anti‐HCMV treatment are usually monitored by measuring pp65 antigenemia. This method is time‐consuming, labour‐intensive and requires skilled operators. We have compared results obtained using real‐time Light Cycler™ quantitative PCR (QPCR) an
## Abstract The impact of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection of the genital tract during pregnancy on adverse pregnancy outcomes is not understood fully. A real‐time PCR assay was used to determine vaginal shedding of CMV in 993 healthy pregnant Japanese women and the results were compared with the ou
## Abstract A real‐time PCR assay was developed for quantitative detection of B19 DNA in clinical serum samples. The assay was carried out using a LightCycler instrument and product formation was monitored continuously with the fluorescent double‐stranded DNA binding dye SYBR Green I. With an optim
