Detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in peripheral blood leukocytes has been shown to be a sensitive marker of CMV infection. However, the specificity with regard to its clinical significance is less clear, since infections considered to be latent may be detected. In this report, the presence of C

The use of sensitive and specific methods for rapid and reliable diagnosis is required due to the considerable impact of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in organ transplant recipients. For this purpose the demonstration of the presence of viral antigens in peripheral blood leukocytes (PMNLs) and of vir
## Abstract To establish the effect of the presence in blood cells of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) DNA, two herpesviruses that are activated frequently in AIDS patients, were selected from the Amsterdam Cohort Studies on HIV/AIDS 181 PBMC samples from patients with and witho
Diagnosis of significant infections by human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) and 7 (HHV7) in transplant patients has proved difficult because both viruses are ubiquitous and can cause persistent infections in their hosts. The significance of viral DNA detected in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs; DNAemia) by
