[Association between clinical manifestations of infants with human cytomegalovirus infection and glycoprotein B genotype].

Objective: To investigate the association between the clinical manifestations of infants with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection and glycoprotein B (gB) genotype.

Methods: Urine samples were obtained from 107 symptomatic infants with HCMV infection confirmed by fluorescence quantitative PCR, 70 male and 37 female, aged 5 d-8 months, and 25 asymptomatic infants with HCMV infection, 16 male and 9 female, aged 21 d-7 months. A fragment of glycoprotein B gene was amplified by nested PCR (nPCR).
