Polymerase chain reaction to detect human cytomegalovirus in livers of infants with neonatal hepatitis.
Gastroenterology 1992 September
Neonatal hepatitis is closely related to human cytomegalovirus infection in Taiwan, a conclusion based on serological and urine culture studies. To obtain more direct evidence further relating cytomegalovirus to the pathogenesis of neonatal hepatitis, the cytomegalovirus genome was studied in the liver tissues of 50 infants with neonatal hepatitis using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Liver tissues from 26 infants with biliary atresia and another 30 infants and children with diagnoses other than neonatal hepatitis, cholestasis, or hepatitis were also studied for comparison. Sequences from the immediate early gene 1 and 2 regions were used as primers. The liver tissues from 23 (46%) of the 50 infants with neonatal hepatitis were positive for cytomegalovirus genome, whereas those of 2 of the 26 infants with biliary atresia and none of the liver tissues from 30 infants and children without neonatal hepatitis were positive for cytomegalovirus genome, by PCR. The results of PCR correlated well with that of serology and urine culture. This study provides further evidence of cytomegalovirus in the pathogenesis of neonatal hepatitis.
