Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction Diagnosis of Infectious Posterior Uveitis
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To validate a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay allowing rapid and sensitive detection and quantitation of 4 common infectious posterior uveitis pathogens. METHODS: A real-time PCR assay using previously validated primer sets for cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, and Toxoplasma gondii was developed. A standard curve for quantitation of pathogen load was...
