摘要: The presence of hemoglobin in samples are considered an important inhibitory factor for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). aim this study was to examine the influence red blood cells (RBC)s cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as reverse transcription (RT-PCR) enteroviruses (EV). Forty-four CSF from patients showing characteristics viral meningitis were assessed EV by RT-PCR. Viral RNA extracted with guanidine isothyocianate buffer and virus detection performed in-house nested PCR. Positivity RT-PCR higher without RBCs than RBCs: 13(26%) 36(9.2%), p = 0.001. In group positive RT-PCR, mean + SD RBC 37 ± 183 cell/mm3; negative results had 580 2,890 cell/mm3 (p 0.007). acceptable upper limit that could not 108 cells/mm3. have more erythrocytes.
