Abstract:

Objective To improve the determination specificity of human Eperythrozoon through multiple methods. Methods A total of 223 patients with blood diseases were enrolled. Eperythrozoon was determined by Wright-Giemsa staining and acridine staining. The determination rates were compared between the 2 methods. The cases with both positive results were determined by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). The positive results of PCR were analyzed by sequencing and GenBank comparison. Results The positive rates were 46.19% and 28.25% by Wright-Giemsa staining and acridine staining,respectively. In 40 cases with both positive results,10 cases were positive by PCR,and 1 case with dark stripe was sequenced. The homology of 16S rRNA sequences between this case and Mycoplasma suis was 95.84%,that for Mycoplasma bovis was 86.84%,and that for Mycoplasma capricolum was 87.33%. Conclusions The multiple methods for Eperythrozooncould improve determination specificity.
