Establishment and clinical application of quantitative PCR for invasive aspergillosis detection in serum
Objective To establish the quantitative PCR detection of serum aspergillus DNA, wondered whether detecting circulating aspergillus DNA in serum sample PCR could help in diagnosing invasive aspergillosis(lA). Methods Panfungal Aspergillus-specific primers and probe described elsewhere were used,then we set up real time PCR detection method (Optimized reaction system, conditions, and evaluated the methodology. We detected 33 cases of first GM- positive serum samples in this method. Results The developed quantitative PCR method showed high sensitivity (2 copies/reaction) and good specificity,the Standard curve Y =-3. 629X+40. 187,correlation coefficient R2 was 0. 9976. Using realtime PCR to process the 33 first GM-positive serum sample,it showed a sensitivity of 84% (21/ 25) .specificity of 87. 5%{7/8},positive and negative predictive value of 95. 5% (21/22) and 63. 6% (7/11) respectively. The IA diagnosis difference between PCR positive and PCR negative patients was significant (P<0. 001 by Fisher,s,exact test). The relative risk for aprobable or possible IA when the GM test was positive was 2. 625 times higher when the PCR result on the same serum sample was also positive. Conclusion Aspergillus serum cell free DNA may be used as an early diagnostic method for invasive aspergillosis.
