Thirty-eight renal transplant recipients were followed during the first 3 months after transplantation. Once weekly, cultures of urine and buffy coat for cytomegalovirus (CMV) were taken and an immunocytochemical assay for immediate early antigens of CMV (IEA assay) was performed. Thirty patients had evidence of a CMV infection and 11 had a symptomatic CMV infection. All symptomatic patients had one or more positive urine cultures or a positive IEA assay. However, 15 patients with positive urine cultures and 12 patients with a positive IEA assay lacked any signs of symptomatic CMV disease. Moreover, 6 out of 15 patients with positive buffy coat cultures for CMV did not have symptomatic CMV disease. Using a computerized system to quantify IEA-positive granulocytes, we show that the absolute number of positive cells per million correlates very well with the occurrence of symptomatic CMV disease.
