Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is recognized as the most common congenital viral infection in
humans and an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts …

Previous studies have shown that detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in plasma is less

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was one of the most important opportunistic infections in
HIV-infected patients before the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) …

Quantitation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in plasma and serum by PCR is increasingly
used to identify patients at risk for developing CMV disease and to monitor the efficacy of …

The measurement of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) DNA in blood is becoming the
