The present invention provides a method for detecting the presence of a predetermined infectious agent in a human or animal subject comprising obtaining a preselected portion of a whole blood sample containing at least one intact blood cell from the subject and detecting the presence of a nucleic acid from the predetermined infectious agent in the intact blood cell by nucleic acid hybridization. The preselected portion of the blood sample can include any portion which contains at least one intact blood cell, for example a peripheral blood smear or cytospin buffy coat preparation. The intact blood cell can be any blood cell including, but not limited to white blood cells and red blood cells. In one embodiment, the blood cell is a lymphocyte.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de detection de la présence d'un agent infectieux prédéterminé chez un sujet humain ou animal, consistant à prélever sur le sujet une partie présélectionnée d'un échantillon de sang total contenant au moins un globule sanguin intact, et à détecter la présence d'un acide nucléique provenant de l'agent infectieux prédéterminé dans le globule sanguin intact par hybridation d'acide nucléique. La partie présélectionnée de l'échantillon de sang peut comporter n'importe quelle partie contenant au moins un globule sanguin intact, par exemple une préparation de frottis de sang périphérique ou de couche leucocytaire de cytospine. Le globule sanguin intact peut être n'importe quel globule sanguin y compris, de façon non exhaustive, des globules blancs et des globules rouges. Dans un mode de réalisation, le globule sanguin est un lymphocyte.
