Successful preemptive CMV therapy in transplant patients depends on the availability of sensitive, specific, and timely diagnostic tests for CMV infections. The pp65 antigenemia assay has been used for this purpose with considerable success but has disadvantages of being time-consuming and labor-intensive .展开更多
