Previous studies suggest a link between cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and chronic rejection. Since these studies, more sophisticated diagnostic methods with high sensitivity and specificity for CMV have been developed and effective therapy/prophylaxis for CMV is now available. We sought CMV prospectively by polymerase chain reaction of serum and urine and by conventional methods in a group of 33 patients undergoing 57 transplants during 1993 or 1994, selected from a larger series. There were 13 grafts lost to chronic rejection. The remaining 44 grafts that did not develop chronic rejection served as controls and comprised 15 successful primary grafts, 15 second transplants, 8 third transplants, and 6 primary grafts that were lost for reasons other than chronic rejection.
