PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods for diagnosis or monitoring of viral infection by detecting the presence of transrenal viral nucleic acids or nucleic acids of viral origin in a urine sample, with or without isolation of nucleic acids from the urine sample.SOLUTION: The analysis of nucleic acids is performed through hybridization of the nucleic acids with specific probes, or through a chain amplification reaction with specific primers. The methods are applicable to all viral pathogenic agents, including RNA, DNA, episomal, or integrated viruses. |
