Detection of Cytomegalovirus in the Meconium of Infected Newborns by Polymerase Chain Reaction
Objective: Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a leading cause of hearing loss and mental retardation throughout the. world. Detection of the CMV DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) offers a sensitive, rapid, and specific means of identification. Meconium, the stool formed in utero, may...
