Application of a standardized cytomegalovirus antigenemia assay in the management of patients with AIDS

One-hundred twenty AIDS patients, tested by an optimized cytomegalovirus antigenemia (CMV-Ag) assay, were followed over a 6-month period in an attempt to correlate viral (CMV) load with severe CMV organ-specific disease. Among patients available for follow-up, CMV organ-specific disease was present...

Zusammenfassung:	One-hundred twenty AIDS patients, tested by an optimized cytomegalovirus antigenemia (CMV-Ag) assay, were followed over a 6-month period in an attempt to correlate viral (CMV) load with severe CMV organ-specific disease. Among patients available for follow-up, CMV organ-specific disease was present in seven of eight (88%) with pp65 antigen levels ≥50 cells per 4 × 10 5 polymorphonuclear leukocytes. One-hundred six patients of 107 patients with levels
