Description

Sex Transm Inf, 2000. — № 76. — P. 342–344.CMV viraemia precedes disease so the detection of CMV viraemia identifies individuals at highest risk. Cell culture based methods of detection have now been superseded by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and pp65 antigenaemia assays. The application of quantitative techniques has shown that elevated CMV load increases the risk of CMV disease in congenital infection1 and following renal, liver, and bone marrow transplantation.
