Method for diagnosing the active stage of a cytomegalovirus infection in a person

摘要

The present invention pertains to the field of virology and relates to an express diagnosis for viral infections. This invention essentially relates to a method for diagnosing the active stage of cytomegalovirus infection in a patient, wherein said method involves carrying out a sorption of the specific antigen in solid phase, adding the serum to be analysed, carrying out an incubation using a conjugate of immunologic ferments as well as a substrate and estimating the results. The antigen consists of the recombinant, main, precursor and non-structured protein of the cytomegalovirus, and the active stage of the infection is detected upon the occurrence of antibodies against said cytomegalovirus.
