Diagnosis of Varicella-Zoster Virus Infections in the Clinical Laboratory by LightCycler PCR
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes vesicular dermal lesions which are clinically evident as varicella (primary infection) or zoster (reactivated) diseases. The LightCycler system (Roche Molecular Biochemicals) is a newly developed commercially available system designed to rapidly perform PCR with real-time detection of PCR products using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer. We compared the detection of VZV...
