Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis with a polymerase-chain-reaction test on amniotic fluid.
Patrick Hohlfeld,Fernand Daffos,Jean-Marc Costa,Philippe Thulliez,François Forestier,Michel Vidaud +5 more
TL;DR: An approach based on a polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) test performed on amniotic fluid is rapid, safe, and accurate for the prenatal diagnosis of congenital T. gondii infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of two DNA targets for the diagnosis of Toxoplasmosis by real-time PCR using fluorescence resonance energy transfer hybridization probes
TL;DR: A quantitative LightCycler PCR protocol which offer rapid cycling with real-time, sequence-specific detection of amplicons is developed which should be preferred to less repeated or more divergent target sequences in order to improve the sensitivity of PCR tests for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Serum Galactomannan Antigen Detection and Competitive Polymerase Chain Reaction for Diagnosing Invasive Aspergillosis
Stéphane Bretagne,Jean-Marc Costa,Emmanuelle Bart Delabesse,Nathalie Dhedin,Claire Rieux,Catherine Cordonnier +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that PCR on serum samples is not more sensitive than GM detection, however, PCR can improve the specificity of the GM test and together, these noninvasive tests should improve the diagnosis of IA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal administration of valaciclovir in symptomatic intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection.
Jacquemard F,M. Yamamoto,Jean-Marc Costa,S. Romand,Jaqz-Aigrain E,A. Dejean,F. Daffos,Yves Ville +7 more
TL;DR: Early experience with treatment of intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection using maternal oral administration of valaciclovir (VACV) is reported using maternal Oral Administration of VACV.
Journal ArticleDOI
New strategy for prenatal diagnosis of X-linked disorders.
TL;DR: To the Editor: An invasive approach is still the gold standard for prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders.
