Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid and simple method for purification of nucleic acids.
R. Boom,C. J. A. Sol,M. M. M. Salimans,C. L. Jansen,P.M.E. Wertheim-van Dillen,J. van der Noordaa +5 more
TL;DR: A simple, rapid, and reliable protocol for the small-scale purification of DNA and RNA from, e.g., human serum and urine, based on the lysing and nuclease-inactivating properties of guanidinium thiocyanate together with the nucleic acid-binding properties of silica particles or diatoms in the presence of this agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of BK Virus in Acute Respiratory Tract Disease and the Presence of BKV DNA in Tonsils
TL;DR: Sera from seven patients showed a seroconversion to BKV and clinical signs of acute upper respiratory tract infection were exhibited by each of these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of PCR, Culture, and Serological Tests for Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Respiratory Tract Infection in Children
J. W. Dorigo-Zetsma,Sebastian A. J. Zaat,P.M.E. Wertheim-van Dillen,L. Spanjaard,J. Rijntjes,G. van Waveren,Jørgen Skov Jensen,A. F. Angulo,Jacob Dankert +8 more
TL;DR: Two rapid tests, PCR and the immunoglobulin M immunofluorescence assay (IgM IFA), with culture and the complement fixation test (CFT), were compared in a prospective study among 92 children with respiratory tract infection and 74 controls to diagnose M. pneumoniae infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitation of Varicella-Zoster Virus DNA in Whole Blood, Plasma, and Serum by PCR and Electrochemiluminescence
TL;DR: In this paper, a highly sensitive assay for quantitation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA in blood, involving PCR amplification, solution hybridization with Tris-(2, 2'-bipyridine)-ruthenium(II) chelate-labeled probes, and measurement by electrochemiluminescence (ECL).
Journal ArticleDOI
