The one step reaction was performed in a single tube at 65?C for 45 min for EV71 and 35 min for CVA16. The detection limits of RT-LAMP assays for both EV71 and CVA16 were 0.1 of a 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) per reaction, based on 10—Fold dilutions of a titrated EV71 or CVA16 strain. The specific assay showed there were no cross-reactions with Coxsackievirus A (CVA) viruses (CVA 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 14, and 25), Coxsackievirus B (CVB) viruses (CVB 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) or ECHO viruses (ECHO 3, 6, 11, and 19). In parallel with commercial quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) diagnostic kits for EV71 and CVA16, the RT-LAMP assay was evaluated with 515 clinical specimens, the results showed the RT-LAMP assay and the qRT-PCR assay were in complete agreement for 513/515 (99.6%) of the specimens. Two samples with discrepant results from two methods were further verified by nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (nRT-PCR) assay and sequencing to be true positives for CVA16. In conclusion, RT-LAMP assay is demonstrated to be a sensitive and specific assay and have a great potential for the rapid and visual screening of EV71 and CVA16 in China, especially in those resource-limited hospitals and rural clinics of provincial and municipal regions.展开更多

目的:对比分析15~24个月及2~5岁CA16感染的普通型与危重症手足口病(hand,foot and mouth disease,HFMD)患者外周血中CD8^+T细胞的表达情况,寻找发现与CA16致病有关的免疫病理因素。方法:收集2014年5-8月间昆明市儿童医院感染科确诊的儿...目的:对比分析15~24个月及2~5岁CA16感染的普通型与危重症手足口病(hand,foot and mouth disease,HFMD)患者外周血中CD8^+T细胞的表达情况,寻找发现与CA16致病有关的免疫病理因素。方法:收集2014年5-8月间昆明市儿童医院感染科确诊的儿童HFMD病例外周血标本共72例,其中普通型32例,危重症40例,采用流式细胞术对患者外周血CD8^+T淋巴细胞亚群进行检测分析。结果:15~24个月普通型HFMD患者外周血CD8^+T淋巴细胞百分比略高于正常健康儿童参考值,而危重症患者CD8^+T细胞略低于正常参考值。此外,与正常参考值相比,2~5岁普通型及危重症患者外周血中CD8^+T淋巴细胞百分比均减低,其中危重症患者略低于普通型患者。结论:CA16感染后,不同年龄、不同病情的HFMD患者外周血中CD8^+T细胞的表达变化不太明显,说明CA16感染后,患者体内的CD8^+T细胞基本能够发挥正常的抗病毒免疫效应。而在危重症时,两个年龄段患者CD8^+T细胞百分比略低或减低,说明CA16的持续性感染可能对机体CD8^+T细胞的表达产生了影响,使其杀伤病毒效应减低,这可能是CA16感染诱导神经系统并发症发生的免疫病理因素之一。展开更多
