Brief Summary:
The researchers select 100 cytomegalovirus CMV DNA samples from patients diagnosed with CMV infection Patients include bone marrow transplant patients pregnant women and newborns The researchers determine viral load by real-time polymerase chain reaction PCR They amplify CMV-gB sequences by PCR and type by sequencing and restriction fragment length polymorphism RFLP The researchers obtain clinical data from patients records They examine association between patients clinical status and CMV-gB genotype and viral load
Detailed Description:
The study aims at finding association between CMV viral load and viral glycoprotein B genotype and the clinical status of patients suffering from CMV infection Bone marrow transplant patients are at increased risk of developing severe CMV disease and are routinely followed for viral load Fetuses are also at high risk for developing severe malformations and neurological defects following maternal primary infection during pregnancy Therefore amniotic fluid from women diagnosed with CMV infection is examined for CMV presence Newborns having congenital defects are tested for CMV excretion
There is not yet any confirmed marker for assessment of the potential severity of the viral infection and for prognosis Therefore we shall attempt to find association between the viral load and genotype and the clinical status
CMV DNA samples prepared at the Central Virology Laboratory from clinical specimens obtained from patients for diagnostic purposes will be coded and then subjected to viral load analysis using real-time PCR The gB genotype will be determined by either of two methods described in the literature a PCR and RFLP b PCR and sequencing
Relevant clinical data will be retrieved from the patients clinical records and saved as coded information to match the samples Bone marrow transplant patients will be followed for prolonged periods covering repeated viral reactivation events Clinical records from mothers and newborns will be matched when present Otherwise maternal and newborn samples will be kept as is
Statistical analysis will be performed to try and find association between the clinical status of patients the viral load and the viral genotype
