Abstract

To determine if cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA could be detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of infants with congenital infection with CMV, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was done on CSF samples from 13 infants (10 with confirmed, 1 with possible, and 2 with asymptomatic congenital CMV infection) and on CSF samples from 100 control patients with alternative diagnoses. By use of two sets of primers that targeted different areas of the CMV genome, CMV DNA was amplified in the CSF of 6 of 10 symptomatic infants, 0 of 3 infants with asymptomatic CMV infection or possible congenital CMV disease, and 2 control patients (one primer set only). A positive CSF PCR result at birth correlated with a poor neurodevelopmental outcome (P = .048; two-tailed Fisher's exact test).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
