Abstract
1. What is CMV, and why is CMV infection significant in transplant recipients? 2. What laboratory tests are used for the detection of active CMV infection? 3. What is pp65 antigenemia? 4. What is real-time PCR? 5. What are the advantages of using real-time PCR over other methods for detecting (eg, viral culture) and/or quantifying viral DNA? 6. How do you explain the patient’s test results? 7. What assay(s) would you use to definitively explain the test results?
