Abstract

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a defective parvovirus with unknown pathogenicity. It requires helper functions for its normal replication in human tissue and therefore is not readily isolated from clinical specimens. We have used the PCR method to examine the following clinical samples for the presence of AAV sequences: (i) 15 nasopharyngeal aspirates from symptomatic patients, (ii) 7 swab or fluid specimens from vesicles of patients suspected of having varicella-zoster virus infections, (iii) 21 human papilloma virus-positive genital biopsy specimens, (iv) 61 genital swab specimens from women suspected of having herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection examined either directly or following propagation in tissue culture, (v) 62 samples of first-trimester aborted material, including 38 samples from spontaneous abortions and 24 samples from induced abortions, (vi) 11 samples of chorionic villi taken from women undergoing genetic prenatal diagnosis, and (vii) three lots of cultured human embryonic cells. AAV sequences were detected only in samples taken from the genital tracts of women suspected of having HSV infection and not in any of the other types of samples. Samples from 11 patients were positive for AAV: for 4 patients the ori...Continue Reading
