Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Accurate and rapid diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) disease in solid organ transplant patients remains a challenge. We evaluated the clinical utility of a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) method to diagnose transplant patients with HCMV disease. METHODS:A total of 429 plasma samples from 121 solid organ transplant patients were prospectively collected and evaluated for HCMV using a QPCR assay. To enhance the sensitivity of the QPCR assay, plasma samples were centrifuged in a manner designed to concentrate the virions before nucleic acid extraction. Quantitation was achieved by co-amplifying an internal quantitative standard (IS) that contained the same primer sequences as for HCMV. Polymerase chain reaction products were detected by hybridization to 96-well microtiter plates coated with either a HCMV- or an IS-specific probe. RESULTS:A total of 103 patients had all samples negative by QPCR. None of the 103 patients developed HCMV disease during the study. In contrast, 18 patients showed at least 1 sample positive by the QPCR assay, but only 8 of these developed HCMV disease. The mean viral load value for patients without HCMV disease was 93 viral copies (vc) per ml of plasma (range: 35-325 vc/ml plasma) and for the 8 patients with HCMV disease was 67,686 vc/ml plasma (range: 167-1,325,000 vc/ml plasma) (P<0.001). Using a cut-off value of 100 vc/ml plasma and clinical diagnosis of HCMV disease, the QPCR assay showed a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 99.1%. CONCLUSION:HCMV viral load may be useful in the diagnosis of HCMV disease in solid organ transplant patients.
