## Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections and antiโHCMV treatment are usually monitored by measuring pp65 antigenemia. This method is timeโconsuming, labourโintensive and requires skilled operators. We have compared results obtained using realโtime Light Cyclerโข quantitative PCR (QPCR) an
## Abstract After bone marrow (BM) or solidโorgan (SO) transplantation viremic __Cytomegalovirus__ (CMV) infection is observed frequently. Quantitative assay of CMV in blood helps the management of this clinical condition. In the present report, 83 samples from 39 solid organ recipients, three CMV
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA quantitation provides sensitive and specific data for detecting CMV as well as monitoring the infection and determining the appropriate antiviral strategy. A recently introduced real-time PCR assay for CMV DNA quantitation was applied
