Cost minimization analysis of an in-house molecular test for cytomegalovirus in relation to a commercial molecular system

Cost minimization analysis of an in-house molecular test for cytomegalovirus in relation to a commercial molecular system

Introduction: Cytomegalovirus may cause severe disease in immunocompromised patients. Nowadays, quantitative polymerase chain reaction is the gold-standard for both diagnosis and monitoring of cytomegalovirus infection. Most of these assays use cytomegalovirus automated molecular kits which are expe...
