Quantiferon-CMV Test in Prediction of Cytomegalovirus Infection After Kidney Transplantation
Original language description
Infection with cytomegalovirus is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunosuppressed patients, including organ and bone marrow transplant recipients. The majority of CMV disease is caused by reactivation of alatent infection rather that by newly acquired virus. Many techniques have been currently available to aid in the diagnostics of CMV disease. In this report we performed a prospective evaluation of Quantiferon-CMV assay to determine whether the test is predictive of CMV disease. CD8+T-cellCMV-specific immunity was assessed in a longitudinal cohort of 14kidney transplant recipients. According to our data, subjects with higher cellular immune response measured with Quantiferon test had a lower risk of manifestation of CMV infection than subjects with lower responses.Despite the small number of patients and large intra- and interindividual variability of the data in the study, we observed the Quantiferon-CMV assay to be a sensitive specific test to detect a virus-specific T
