Detection of human cytomegalovirus DNA in perilymph of patients with sensorineural hearing loss using real‐time PCR

Abstract excerpt

Although cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been detected in the inner ear fluid of patients who succumbed to the complications of symptomatic congenital CMV infection, it has not been detected in the inner ear fluid of living patients.
