Cytomegalovirus infection (CMV) is fairly common in Immunocompromised patients. Typical CMV inclusions detect only 20% of the cases and can miss up to 80% of the cases
Now , we can perform CMV immunohistochemistry on any tissue suspected of CMV infections lung biopsy, Bronchial lavage, Esophageal biopsy, colonic biopsy, kidney biopsy, lymph node biopsy, blood buffy coat
Identifying CMV infection, with advent of new treatment has strong clinical implication
We, in the First Medical Laboratory, are determined to bring the best of laboratory medicine in clinical practice to Jordan
