Diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus with renal failure by RT-qPCR
Keywords:
renal failure, cytomegalovirus, qPCRAbstract
Human samples from renal failure patients were collected from July 25, 2023, to September 19, 2023. The age range of the patients was 1 to 80 years. The RT-qPCR method was used to detect Cytomegalovirus in all samples; the results showed seventy-nine positive cases for Cytomegalovirus. The population groups studied were divided into five age groups: 1-16, 17-33, 34-50, 51-67, and 68-84 years. The fourth group (51-67) had the highest number of infected cases at 29.11%, compared to the age group 1-16 at 12.65%, 17-33 at 15.18%, 34-50 at 27.84%, and the age group 68-84 at 15.18%. The samples were collected from hospitals, including Al-Nasiriyah Teaching Hospital, Dialysis Center, and Al-Hussein Hospital.
