title: [Detection of direct markers of cytomegalovirus. Research of the spectrum and avidity of antiviral antibodies in infants and preschool children].
abstract: Thirty-three children aged 1 month to 3 years were examined within the case study. spELISA, immunoblot (IB), shell vial method (SVM) and PCR, were used for the detection of anti-CMV IgM and IgG, in the diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV). Clinical signs of CMV infection (CMVI) were registered in 20 children (group 1); no CMVI specific signs were detected in the remaining 13 children (group 2). Class M antibodies were identified in 50% of group-1 sera. Around 80% of children in the group had anti-CMV-IgG. AI < 0.6 was in 3 (20%) of 15 examinees. Direct CMV markers (DNA and infection activity) were detected in 13 (65%) of 20 children. Sera of 13 children with non-specific symptomatology (group 2) had no anti-CNV-IgM, while IgG were found in 54% examinees in the group. The infectious active virus was not detected in a single baby. The used laboratory tools enhance the efficiency of CMVI diagnosis and denote a disease variation.
