PLEASANTON, California, March 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- El test evalúa la carga viral de los virus potencialmente mortales para pacientes con transplantes

Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) ha anunciado hoy que su test (1) de citomegalovirus (CMV) ya está disponible a nivel comercial en Europa. Las pruebas de carga de virus CMV ayudan a los médicos a tratar a los pacientes inmunocomprometidos que están en riesgo de padecer la enfermedad CMV, incluyendo los que se han sometido a transplante de órgano sólido y células madre. Este test estandarizado y completamente automatizado controla las infecciones CMV utilizando un sistema fácil de usar capaz de desplegar resultados precisos y fiables para los médicos, por lo que pueden tomar decisiones de tratamiento vitales.

"Estamos encantados de ofrecer este innovador test enfocado a las necesidades médicas principales de los pacientes inmunosuprimidos", afirmó Paul Brown, Ph.D. y responsable de Roche Molecular Diagnostics. "Gracias a este test, Roche ya puede realizar un test CMV rápido y estandarizado al tiempo que mejora el flujo de trabajo para los laboratorios".

Acerca de este test

El test se puede seguir de forma fácil con las primeras WHO International Standard for Human Cytomegalovirus for Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques (NIBSC 09/162) y controlar de forma fiable las infecciones por citomegalovirus (CMV) y el efecto de terapia antiviral en la actividad viral.

Acerca del sistema COBAS(R) AmpliPrep/COBAS(R) TaqMan(R)

El test se ha diseñado para usarse con el sistema completamente automatizado de Roche COBAS(R) AmpliPrep/COBAS(R) TaqMan(R). La plataforma combina el instrumento COBAS(R) AmpliPrep para la preparación automatizada de muestras y el analizador COBAS(R) TaqMan(R) o el pequeño analizador COBAS(R) TaqMan(R) 48 para automatización en tiempo real de la ampliación y detección PCR. El sistema COBAS(R) AmpliPrep/COBAS(R) TaqMan(R) cuenta con un procesamiento paralelo con otros ensayos de diagnosis molecular principales destinados a las enfermedades médicamente importantes (virus de la hepatitis B, virus de la hepatitis C y virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana). Las enzimas propias de Roche AmpErase también están incluidas en cada test, y se han diseñado para prevenir la contaminación cruzada de las muestras y laboratorios.

Acerca del citomegalovirus

El CMV es la infección vírica más común y la más importante única en receptores de transplantes de órganos sólidos (SOT). El CMV se puede transmitir por medio del órgano del donante, produciendo una infección por CMV y llevando al desarrollo de la enfermedad de CMV. Aproximadamente, entre el 20% y el 60% de todos los receptores de transplante han desarrollado infección sintomática CMV (2). La infección CMV normalmente se desarrolla durante los primeros meses después del transplante. La enfermedad CMV se define por las evidencias de infección por CMV con síntomas atribuibles similares a los de la mononucleosis infecciosa, fiebre glandular, fiebre prolongada, dolor de garganta y hepatitis leve. Cuando infecta, el virus sigue estando latente en el organismo el resto de la vida de la persona.
