Cytomegalovirus and Blood Transfusion

  • Chapter
Molecular Aspects of Human Cytomegalovirus Diseases

Part of the book series: Frontiers of Virology ((FRVIROLOGY,volume 2))

Summary

This chapter summarizes the evidence that cytomegalovirus is present in certain cells in whole blood in both the active and latent state and that the virus can be transmitted in its latent state to a susceptible host by transfusion. Normal and immunosuppressed adults and newborn infant recipients are discussed as well as some methods of prevention.
