Use of Polymerase Chain Reaction Assays of Aqueous Humor in the Differential Diagnosis of Retinitis in Patients Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus
1 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
We performed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), and Toxoplasma gondii DNA in aqueous humor from 15 patients who were infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and who had retinitis of unclear origin; these patients were selected from among 820 patients evaluated by ophthalmoscopic examination.
