Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) messenger (m) RNA expression in circulating leukocytes reflects directly viral activity in the human host. In this study, sixty-nine patients were monitored prospectively for CMV infection and mRNA expression during the first year after renal transplantation. Of the 69 re
Immunostaining techniques that use a monoclonal antibody against an early cytomegalovirus antigen or a polyclonal antibody, in situ DNA hybridization and inoculation of cell cultures for the detection of cytomegalovirus from liver biopsy specimens were studied in 20 liver transplant patients with cy
Disseminated zoster occurring simultaneously with cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in a renal transplant recipient is potentially life threatening. We describe the use of intravenous ganciclovir to treat both infections. The efficacy of treatment was assessed clinically and by the measurement of CMV vi
